Valentino Rossi Quotations | Page 2

I am not sure what will happen in the race, and I am a little worried.

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.

He ran a great race, but he made a little mistake and made it easy for me, ... It was a great weekend for us.

For sure tomorrow will be difficult. We are still struggling with stability and grip.

For sure, this is a magic circuit for me, ... I have had some great, great battles here in the past.

I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.

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.

Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.

Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.

I think the secret is to understand that you still want to be part of the game. To do so, you have to forget all the victories you've managed to get in the previous years and have a great humility. You also need to realise that, if you want to go on, you have to work hard. If you dwell too much on your past successes and say "well, I have won nine world titles and more than 100 races", you'd rather stay home.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

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
