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

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
Image
I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
Valentino Rossi

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

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.

I feel 100% a Yamaha rider in my heart. I had a long career and raced with several factory bikes, but the highlight of my career is undoubtedly with Yamaha.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I am able to ride the bike and think clearly about strategy and tyres. I also have positive thinking. I am very constructively critical.

Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
