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

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.

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

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.

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.

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

Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.

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.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

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

I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.

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

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.

It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.

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.

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.
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
Image
Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.

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.
