More quotes by Valentino Rossi
The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
Valentino Rossi
I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
Valentino Rossi
Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.
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 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.
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
I am completely focused on being strong, riding fast, and enjoying myself. With the new generation of riders, only the chronometer counts. I need to be faster than them on track.
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'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.
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
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
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
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
To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.
Valentino Rossi
The work that we do during the winter is very important we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time.
Valentino Rossi
My approach to the races hasn't changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.
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
I was lucky. My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.
Valentino Rossi
To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.
