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

It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on
Valentino Rossi

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

I'm really happy, and beating Marc [Marquez] at the very last chicane gives me an extra boost.

I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.

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.

We kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.
Valentino Rossi

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.
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.

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed
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.

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.
Valentino Rossi

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
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.

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.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.
Valentino Rossi
Image
You try to do a technical feature: in front of me I had a strong rider who brakes hard and it's difficult to pass.

Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.
Valentino Rossi

I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.
