MotoGP: Valentino Rossi “I'm excited, I want to win again but a podium is fine in Qatar”MotoGP: Valentino Rossi “I'm excited, I want to win again but a podium is fine in Qatar”

Valentino Rossi, ten days after returning to the track with Yamaha for the first winter test session in Sepang, talks about himself in a nice interview with Gazzetta dello Sport. The Pesaro native is well-energised and can't wait to get started. This year he is often seen on the podium, even if the icing on the cake would be the return to the victory that has been missing since October 2010 when he won after a good battle with Lorenzo and Dovizioso in Sepang.

“It was nice to be back with the family – said Valentino Rossi to the Gazzetta dello Sport – Everyone is happy that he is here again. We have to wait for the Sepang tests. I am very excited. In any case, it was positive to go to Ducati, I'm more motivated than I would be if I had stayed with Yamaha. It will be difficult to go as fast as Pedrosa and Jorge. Not once, but consistently. I'll have to work hard. I don't know my potential. With the M1 I will be more competitive. The goal is to win that GP that I have missed since 2010. If I don't win but I'm on the podium every Sunday it could be fine. But the victory is the watershed. For the first race in Qatar I hope for a podium. Even if I were not to be competitive with Lorenzo and Pedrosa, we should try not to be far behind. And we have to see what Marquez will do..."

    2. fatman said:

      ...it's true, he said "excited"...who knows how jealous he will be...I was very excited after his fall on the straight at the corkscrew practically at the end of the race...what a champion...at least in 2008 he was falling on a curve...you know , luck turns... in 2012 I had a lot of fun... should it continue as in past years there will only be about ten of us left on the forum... they will all disappear... at least in this they STAY UNITED ah, ah, ah!!!

        @mike. great mike… maybe you don't remember but I've always been there!!!! and if you want I'll rewrite what I posted!!! I remember it like it was yesterday!!!! and go and ask LYONN that I had already predicted the podium at Misano a week before... I am also a seer, as the legendary abatantuono said....!! apart from the December break when I only came in to say hello, I was here punctually!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      4. tester said:

        …and also the podium at Misano in the dry…. otherwise you think I was confusing the wet one…. but I remember everything. ihihihihih I'm not like Aeneas that I have to go and check!!! ihihihih..

      5. enea said:

        And yes... of course I have to check if I have to tell you how many points a certain driver was ahead of another in a certain race...! do you remember everything by heart??? ;)

        I don't need to check to remember Misano, or the beatings Casey got in France in the rain...hihihihi:D

        Good lunch :)

        If Rossi wins in Qatar I'll buy the wheels in the dressing room
        You're from Naples, aren't you?
        If so I'll call you shaggy from kiskis and dedicate a rap to you

      8. tester said:

        @mike. to be precise, I'm half from P.pio's native town and half from Naples...

    4. blohm said:

      I'd like to see where you fatman would end up at the corkscrew break, probably directly in a wooden dress AH AH AH AH!!!!

      1. tester said:

        ahahahaha!!!!!!!!! but go for a ride on a scooter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! actually go ahead and go to the hydro heater!!!!!!!!!!!!! have you ever gone to the zip track??????

      2. blohm said:

        But look at those cuties, I was talking to fatman and Terroner arrived to answer. Then one day you will explain to me why it should be an offense, according to your impaired third world brain, to have a scooter. I live in a city that can be explored in 10 minutes, and the scooter is the ideal means of transport. Ah yes, you would still drive around in an SUV with stickers with flames, right, and with the capital Terroner written on the windshield AH AH AH AH.

      3. tester said:

        I accept everything!!!! better with an SUV with flames and the writing TERRONER (and I'm proud of it) than being racist and mentally impaired!!!!!!!! go blohm you are number one!!!!!!!!!!!!! if I were in motogranprix I would ban these things... (third world and having it against the southerners..) not that it concerns me.

  • clay said:

    But you really have a obsession...
    And if Rossi goes fast again, what will you do?

    1. fatman said:

      …nothing…but if it goes slowly, what do you do? At least Testoner and I drink...but those like you who maybe have never been to the track, tell me...what will they do?...Collective suicide ah, ah, ah...come on, clay...rattle off some numbers, I miss them ah, ah, ah!!!

      1. Mike58 said:

        I'm freaking out and starting to wear tight shoes!

        You know the joke right??

        of the guy who buys shoes 2 sizes smaller and the clerk insists on taking a pair in his size and asks him

        “Sir, are you sure? How come? I really don't understand his choice????”

        and the guy replies..

        "but look, my wife gets fucked by my boss who is also annoying me, my son takes drugs, they stole my motorbike, the Ducati I just bought... they just told me that I have a tumor and that there were two options either you die or you remain stupid and I have decided yes don't die VALENTINO ROSSI doesn't go + and those in the forum are laughing about it stoner is back in ducati and won the world championship..”

        “Well, in short, my only satisfaction is when I get home and take off my shoes!!”

  • ueueue said:

    Go Vale!!!!
    We hope to go back to watch races standing on the sofa!!!

    Ps..But why don't you two get together?! Always and only anti-Rossi comments... with the church as always. Painful and annoying

    1. tester said:

      @ueueue… I thought that canaries were like snails and only came out in the rain… but I see that every now and then one appears even in good weather. come back everyone!!!!!!!!!!! that just as you disappeared before (out of shame) you will disappear again!!! My friend and I are always here happy to wait for you. for better or for worse!!!!!! we always celebrate!!!

      1. tester said:

        ..I forgot.. I'm like Tyson!! the more you insult me ​​the more I get angry!!!!! ahahahahahahahahaha

      2. ueueue said:

        I'm sorry but you're wrong... I've never stopped "caring" for Vale... and I've never disappeared from shame since there has never been anything shameful about a rider who has always given his best... the results so what? it can happen.. it doesn't seem to me that stoner has always won..

        Since when do you "cheer" for stoners in stadiums? Since when has he been in MotoGP?! Ridiculous..
        Valentino makes us stay on the sofa from 125.. he is not a meteor..
        Always Forza Vale...not woof woof

      3. tester said:

        in fact I didn't call him shameful... but the majority of the fans who have hidden in the last 2 years!!! I've been following Casey since 125 and I admire him for not having been recommended by anyone. but that he busted his ass with the worst there was to get to where he got to.

      4. tester said:

        and here too I correct myself otherwise you will attack me.. I have been following Casey since his debut in the world championship.

      5. fatman said:

        @testonet

        ...but calm down, let them talk...you see I won't answer, what do I care, I'm waiting for the facts...Blohm's one is nice anyway and the zip ah, ah, ah...look, the zip is easy to handle anyway...maybe in the tight mixed ah, ah , ah...what a laugh!!!

      6. Lyon66 said:

        @Fatman

        Of course I speak, as always, only for myself:

        never disappeared, from the end of the championship to yesterday between ridiculous articles and fre@gnaccia comments it wasn't worth posting.

        From today, under test, we go back to writing, even if we're messing around before the test.

        I have to say, to be honest, that you and Testoner won a couple of times on the results (as favorites), surprising me.

        I even told Max that if he had taken us even after Misano I would have elected him Mascot pro Vale.

        Unfortunately he didn't take it anymore: he did it on purpose so as not to become an honorary member of Honorem ;-)

        And you Fatman?

        When do you come out?

        In my opinion deep down... you're a bit of a canary too ;-)

  • ueueue said:

    Whoever hid, if he did it, was wrong, because in my opinion you should always be proud of your "idol" on two wheels..
    You are for stoner...I am for vale..

    You can also be recommended, but to turn near or under the pole a little push is not enough... honor to all...

    1. fatman said:

      ...it's really wrong to have idols, you have to just follow the races, in a detached way...of course, you may like one driver more than another but then that's it...

      1. enea said:

        Ipse dixit hihihihi :)

        We Valentinians are catechized because we support the Reds, while you, on the other hand, are free to attach yourself to the Maroni di Vale like a Chiwawa piraña...!!!

        The day you stop rooting against we will take your advice into consideration...

        …and then trash it 2pic seconds later… ;)

        If someone who is worth writing is a huge idiot, he has never seen the world championship in his life or he lacks something.
        If you think that I'm attacking him just because it's not worth it, don't get too upset with him.

        Regarding the capital letters, if he had a broken keyboard he would have specified it at the end of the post, but obviously this is not the case, he is simply suffering from acute trollage.

        ...you don't just lack hours of sleep...it's annoying to see that many people think like me, right? You are the "Troll Man"... I have catechized you, now for all of us anti-canary-uccians you will be "Troll Man"... when will a new film? Ha, ha, ha!!!

      6. enea said:

        Fatman, your pathology is serious, and I admit that I don't have the ability to help you. ;)

        Not even you, and I underline you, in your blissful ignorance have ever defined it as worth a damn... so I don't understand where the point of agreement is with the thought of the troll above...
        ..if not in the rest of the insults obviously… :)

        now that I think about it, you look alike... all you need is a broken keyboard that lets you write in capital letters, 30 kg less, and probably 30 years younger considering that the troll in question can't be more than 15 years old. :)

        Have a good day catechist :) hihihi ^^

        @TAMIEL

        Your smallness surprises me, I thought you were just trolling for the fun of it, not out of a physiological need...

        At the threshold of 50 you're here happily trolling, with people who are maybe a third your age, but you're happy... ;)

      What are you shouting!
      It may be that he is in decline at his age, but saying that he is a bastard seems far from reality to me.
      He didn't win "only" against Gibernau, he won against Lorenzo, Stoner, Capirossi, Haiden, Roberts, Biaggi and against the much praised Pedrosa, who has been an official for 8 years but let all or almost all of his teammates pass him by .
      So if he's a jerk he means that the level is really low.

      1. Lyon66 said:

        He beat them all: everyone has their own point of view (uncle, grandfather, cousin, mother, tajadel, pistinegher, arvaja, spaghetti, macaroni, piadina and many other rubbish) but... whoever is there fears it and... (no offense guys , let's look at reality) those who are no longer here can say what they want.

        If you stay you talk, if you go home keep quiet and you'll make a better impression.

        With all due respect to the indisputable talent of those who have made other choices ;-);-)

    ...you will probably succeed too...the premises are all there...and they all depend on UNCLE CARMELO...we'll see..

    1. clay said:

      If it's true that Uncle helps him, explain to me why he hasn't done so in the last two years?
      Also because winning with the Ducati would have done the audience a lot of good, and yet...

      1. fatman said:

        …he definitely helped him…he was always ahead of the other Ducatis and then he put in a good word to get him back to Yamaha so that you canaries can delude yourselves again ah, ah, ah!!!

      2. Stonami77 said:

        ...I don't know...maybe because there was just no way to make it go...also it is clear to many that Rossi's second year in Ducati was exclusively due to the strength of the two-year contract and the pressure of the sponsors...if it had been up to him it was fine off halfway through the first season…
        What did Uncle say in unsuspecting times? “Rossi will be competitive again”…no sooner said than done…but let's see if he will go back to being the champion-devouring cannibal he was in the past…let's see if the show, interrupted due to a Red gate, will continue…or if he and he will finally get out of the way. the circus that follows him... and if he has to win to go away it doesn't matter... 9 or 10 titles doesn't change anything... at least half of them are fake

  • Lyon66 said:

    It may be that Vale is approaching sunset, it's obviously disappointing, but sooner or later it will happen... it's not eternal.

    What if, as happened in 2006-07, the past two years had been sabbatical?

    Euphemistic term, I admit, but it conveys the idea perfectly…

    I don't fully believe it either but it could be, after all 33 years is not 25 but not even 50.

  • bibo said:

    didn't they help him???
    the ballast at the start of the championship, elimination of the right tire for the Honda, freeing up the number of tests, wasn't there any help????
    and it is also true that the canaries perhaps didn't notice given the results....
