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

More quotes by 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
The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.
Valentino Rossi
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.
Valentino Rossi
To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.
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
How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?
Valentino Rossi
I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.
Valentino Rossi
I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
Valentino Rossi
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.
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
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.
Valentino Rossi
However I am looking forward to the two new Grands Prixs both Shanghai and Laguna Seca are fantastic tracks and it will be good to race at 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
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 have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.
Valentino Rossi
Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.
Valentino Rossi
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
Valentino Rossi
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
It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on
Valentino Rossi
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.
