Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.

Image
I'm very happy because I won a lot. I've won races and lived in a world that just gave me joy, so I remember it very positively.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

The tragic incident of Luis Salom reminds us that our sport, our passion, is dangerous. We know it but, in a way, we don't think about it.
Valentino Rossi

The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

My approach to the races hasn't changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.

The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true.

You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.

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.

I am able to ride the bike and think clearly about strategy and tyres. I also have positive thinking. I am very constructively critical.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I have always challenged myself and it's also important to learn from the rivals. Every rider has his own style, and you have to count on some elements that cannot be changed. On the contrary, the bike or the tires can change and it's important to adapt yourself. It's up to the rider to understand what he can change and how much he can adapt.

Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.

I have designs I like applied to my helmet, motorcycle, riding suits, gloves,and boots. I have a designer friend of mine put the designs on them for me. I think a livery on the helmet is significant in expressing a rider's personality.
