More quotes by Valentino Rossi
I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.
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.
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
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.

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 would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
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
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
Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.
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
How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?
Valentino Rossi
The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
