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.

I have a lot of energy after 2 A.M. I like to sleep in the morning. I have some problems at the start of the day.

It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.

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.

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it...

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

I always enjoyed myself a lot in pre-school.

As for the level of spectacle of the two disciplines, I leave it to the people who watch the races to comment.

My normal life is like being on holiday.
