Valentino Rossi Great Quotations

This track is magic, it was a great race. I wasn't able to escape. Nicky had a great race and stayed right with me.

Racing with Yamaha gives me a great taste and a great motivation to win; these last two championships have been two of the best,

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

It was a fantastic race and my best race of the year by far. It was a battle between great riders and it was fantastic to win like this. I would like to say thank you to my team because the bike was very, very fast.

The numbers are always important and to have won like (as many as) Mick (Doohan) is a great pleasure. But this victory is very much more important.

I was quite confident for pole position because the team have done a great job with the bike this weekend and it worked well from yesterday,

He was one of the greatest riders and it was a great occasion to remember him,

It's great to equal Mick's record but the numbers are not the most important thing today because this win was a great emotion after my problems with the crash in the first race and some vibration problems with my new bike.

It was a very exciting day for me, ... Driving an F1 car was an amazing experience and it was great for me to follow in Schumacher's footsteps for a day.

It's a fantastic track and if the bike is okay it's a great pleasure to ride.

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