Quotes from the same author

Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: 'Why am I racing?' I race because I like it, because I'm really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I'm still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence.
 Valentino Rossi
The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.
 Valentino Rossi
I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.
 Valentino Rossi
Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.
 Valentino Rossi
I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.
