“Once upon a time... Rossi and Sete Gibernau were once such good friends that they even spent their holidays together. And then there was Honda's protest in Qatar. For Rossi, there was no doubt that the Spanish rider was behind it. Since that event, the atmosphere between them has cooled considerably. But for the photographers, you always have to smile, right? Gentlemen?”

Laguna Seca 2008: Valentino Rossi comments on his qualifying, where he secured second place on the grid.

Press:

"I start thirty seconds earlier. [Room laughs.] No, I'm quite happy - in a way, is a good job, because we put quite good simulations for understand the tyres. I think for tomorrow, will be a hard race for everybody, because also for physical, is difficult for everybody. And also for the tyres is quite critical, but anyway start from the first row in second place is quite a good target for us. In the last races, we struggle a little bit more in the practise - now we are in the right way so we try to make a good start and a good race."

Interview:

Q: "Okay, Valentino, obviously important to be on the front row again." VR: "Yes, is very important to be on the front row again, especially because we come from some races where we struggle quite a lot in the practise. So is a good result, is a good position for start tomorrow... and also with the race pace, we are quite good and we have to do some small [modifications] but our rhythm is not so bad. So we wait for tomorrow, we see for the conditions, we decide the tyres, and we have two or three small problems that maybe are possible to fix - and we try, we try for tomorrow." Q: "Do you think you'll be able to catch Casey?" VR: "For me, looking at the pace, at the rhythm, will be difficult. But we don't give up."

“I’m going to Yamaha, let’s just see what happens!” I thought. It was the summer of 2003. I was in Ibiza and I decided to cut my ties with Honda and move to Yamaha.
