“We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked wel...” — Valentino Rossi Quote

“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.”

“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.”

“But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.”

“I started mountain-bike riding two years ago, which is much better than riding a stationary bike in the gym. Mountain biking is a total body workout.”

“I want to learn how to ride a bike properly - not like a runner.”

“Man, when I'm riding with the helmet on, I'm invisible. And people just deal with me as the guy on the bike... it gives you a chance to read 'em.”
