Valentino Rossi a living legend (born February 16, 1979) is an Italian former professional motorcycle road racer and nine-time Grand Prix motorcycle racing world champion. Nicknamed The Doctor for his dedication to his craft, he is widely considered to be one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time.
I loved Louka Anargyros's ceramic sculpture collection "Locker Room" so I was looking through his Instagram. He had posted pictures of when he conceptualised the piece and I kid you not Marc and Vale are literally tacked on the board. Their gay ass podium selfie is literally on the inspiration board, plus their leathers.
Q: When in the past you were winning so many races with Honda, everybody was saying, was because of the bike. Now with Marquez, it’s not like this. What do you think about this? And also Honda won today.
Rossi: Yeah, I’m [...] thinking to this situation that this is the bigger difference between my period and the Marc period. When I won, in 2001, 2002, 2003 with Honda, not everybody - but a lot of people, especially the journalists - say that I won because I had the best bike. Now with Marc, racing with Honda, he won a lot of races, but because he do the difference. I don’t know why have this difference between me and him, for me it’s difficult to understand. Maybe the rivals, because, sincerely, we are better rivals than what I had. Because more or less we never complain about - a lot - about the bike, when in the past I beat especially Biaggi, he always complained that I beat him because I have the best bike... It was funny. But at the end, I change bike and I won also with Yamaha, but after I won because I don’t have rivals, so… It’s never ending. But I think that Honda is very strong, but you cannot say nothing to Marc, because he won ten races, so for sure at this moment, he is the fastest rider.

Q: Yes, a question for Vale - Vale, what do you think is the limit of Marc Marquez, and if you think that maybe some day he will change to try the bike to be better, if it’s possible, better rider, more layered… During the past, when change Honda for -
Rossi: Ah, change the team?
Q: Yes, Honda for Yamaha.
Rossi: Oh the limit… Difficult to say, sincerely I don’t know. About the future for change the bike, it’s something very personal. He don’t have to change the bike, so, he have to feel. If he feel good with the team, with the Honda, he can make also all the career with the Honda. Depends very much, it’s a very personal choice, what you feel, what you find, for find the motivation for race. But I think that everybody have his own way.
funniest chain of events in my personal opinion not based on reality
marc to pramac and pramac switches to yamaha
is yamaha winning a championship in the next 3 years probably not but do i want valentino rossi to live with the creeping doubt every day that marc could equal or surpass his record while riding a yamaha yeah it would be hilarious to me
