More quotes by Valentino Rossi
But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.
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
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
Valentino Rossi
I have so much respect for my opponents many of them watched the races as little children and were supporting me!

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
To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

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

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.

If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.
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
Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.
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.
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
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
The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
Valentino Rossi
Barcelona is a special track. I have always loved the layout of the circuit, but also the atmosphere and the fans are special. It has always been good fun.
Valentino Rossi
I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
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 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.
