But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.

I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components

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.

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.
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.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
Valentino Rossi
Image
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
Image
I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

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

If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
