More quotes by 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
But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.
Valentino Rossi
It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on
Valentino Rossi
I have so much respect for my opponents many of them watched the races as little children and were supporting me!
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.
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
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
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
Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.
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
I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.
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
Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.
Valentino Rossi
I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
Valentino Rossi
I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed
Valentino Rossi
You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.
Valentino Rossi
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
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
Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.
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.
