MotoGP – Valentino Rossi: "When I realize I can't win anymore I'll quit"

As previously written, yesterday was Valentino Rossi's birthday. At 31 years old, the centaur from Pesaro still has a great desire to race and above all to win. In the next Sepang tests which will start on February 25th he will try to repeat the excellent performance of the previous tests and above all get the best out of the Yamaha YZR-M1.

“The last test was important psychologically because it showed my rivals that I am ready for another season and this is important – Rossi told MCN – At Sepang we have always done well as well as Yamaha, so it is one of the better for us. We have to wait for Qatar and other circuits for confirmation but the start is positive and I am happy.

This year will be very tough, but the good thing for us is that we are in good shape, so it will be another good fight. I'm even more motivated than ever. I always try to be at the top of my game, improve and try to adapt to the new bike. You always need to adapt to the new bike, to the new regulation. If you think you're on top of your performance, that's a big deal! Each season has its own story, it is more and more difficult and you always have to be faster. This is my passion and I have had a great career, with many good results. The way to race for me is to try to win. When I understand that it won't be possible, I'll say bye..."
