I'm lucky because I don't feel too much pressure - it's only in the last hour before the race, and even then it's good, positive pressure.

More quotes by Valentino Rossi
We kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.
Valentino Rossi
You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.
Valentino Rossi
I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.
Valentino Rossi
I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.
Valentino Rossi
To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.
Valentino Rossi
I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed
Valentino Rossi
Friendship is very important to me. With some friends, we've known each other since we were kids and it's a very strong relationship. They always tell me what they think even when I am wrong. It's great to share with them the best moments. I also have many friends in the team, and I like to share my passion with them.
Valentino Rossi
I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components
Valentino Rossi
Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.
Valentino Rossi
I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
Valentino Rossi
Barcelona is a special track. I have always loved the layout of the circuit, but also the atmosphere and the fans are special. It has always been good fun.
Valentino Rossi
We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.
Valentino Rossi
I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
Valentino Rossi
If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.
Valentino Rossi
I am still here because I like to prove myself. I still like to ride the bike on track and enjoy the races. I still have good reasons to be in racing after so many years.
Valentino Rossi
Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: 'Why am I racing?' I race because I like it, because I'm really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I'm still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence.
Valentino Rossi
Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.
Valentino Rossi
Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.
Valentino Rossi
In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we're always on the bike and it's quite difficult.
Valentino Rossi
To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.
