More quotes by 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
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.
Valentino Rossi
I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
Valentino Rossi
We kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.
Valentino Rossi
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
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

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
It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on
Valentino Rossi
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.
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
I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed
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
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.
