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

How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

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.

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

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

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.
