I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.
Valentino Rossi

In 2009, I didn't like that Yamaha signed such a young and competitive teammate [Jorge Lorenzo]. But now everything is different. We are more mature. Everyone knows his role and position. Things are clear.

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.

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 speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
Valentino Rossi
Image
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.

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.

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

I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.

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
Image
We kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.
Valentino Rossi
Image
I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.
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.
Valentino Rossi
Image
Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.
Valentino Rossi
Image
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.

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.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

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.
