Valentino Rossi : I Live More Relaxed Now

“Having so many fans is just the price you have to pay, but as I get older I'm more relaxed about it all. In the past it was difficult for me to understand that I couldn't have a normal life. I've always had a lot of fans but since coming back to Yamaha, and particularly after what happened in 2015, things have changed. It's as if I've become an icon, a hero of the sport. Before I was a good rider, but now it's something different"
“A few years ago, I decided to live in Tavullia and, step by step, year by year, I built myself a castle - he uses a metaphor - It's a castle with many rooms and secret passages and when I'm there I can have a normal life. This was an important choice for my career, because if you live well, with less stress, it's easier to carry on".
“In the end, I can't have any regrets. I've won so much. Sometimes I think that if I'd the mental strength that I have now back when I was 25, I would have won more. I was better than my rivals, but I was also human. I lived in a more relaxed way compared to other riders and don't regret that”
Finally he talked about his retirement plan.
“When it happens, it will be because I've had enough of MotoGP and maybe, after 24 years, that will be the case - he jokes - In the end, I race for that feeling you get after a win or after a great race. That feeling that lasts for half a day: it's the only reason I'm here. I also think about other things, winning titles and races, but in the end those are just numbers. The important thing is that feeling”.
