- Nine-time MotoGP champ Valentino Rossi remembers his tense rivalry with teammate Jorge Lorenzo and compares it to the infamous Formula 1 feud between Mercedes F1 teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Rossi describes an especially hard moment with Lorenzo at Barcelona in 2009 and initial frustrations when Lorenzo joined as a Yamaha teammate in 2008. Later, Rossi recalls the validation of winning his first race after moving from Honda to Yamaha and silencing doubters who claimed his Honda bike was mostly responsible for winning three MotoGP championships in four years.
IN ITALIANO: Il nove volte campione della MotoGP Valentino Rossi ricorda la sua forte rivalità con il compagno di squadra Jorge Lorenzo e la paragona a quella più famigerata tra Lewis Hamilton e Nico Rosberg, compagni alla Mercedes in Formula 1. Il pilota descrive un momento particolarmente difficile con Lorenzo a Barcellona, nel 2009, e le frustrazioni iniziali quando questi, nel 2008, si unì come compagno di squadra alla Yamaha. Successivamente, Rossi ricorda la convalida della sua prima vittoria dopo il passaggio dalla Honda alla Yamaha e di aver messo a tacere i detrattori, secondo i quali il merito dell’aver vinto tre campionati MotoGP in quattro anni era da attribuirsi alla sua Honda.

Rossi is a freaking straight talker, the man doesn't even mince words when saying something potentially controversial
Italian
@@Walkeranz haha! I guess, you know most racers won't admit to wanting a lesser team mate even though there are legit reasons behind it
@@chiefdenis Precisely. I know of one in particular who looked like he wanted a lesser teamate but never got it.
Damn I like his honesty “I deserve a rider a little bit less than me” imagine an F1 driver saying this
And that is why I like this Legend. Clear and Direct.
Rossi doesn't have time to be playing word games
@@chiefdenis Na! ...... Just head games.
@@chiefdenis I think Kimi is similar.
@@chiefdenis Exactly. He is too real for a top rider. All the other rop riders mostly spew P.R. nonsense.
Valentino is a truly transparent guy. He can be wrong sometimes but he always says what he feels. He never hides his emotions. That's one of the reasons why he's so special.
Exactly. We can see that in the last 2 min when he was talking about the situation from the media when he was going to move from Honda to Yamaha.
Also that is why in the 2015 Sepang pre race press conference he made his exact feelings clear without mincing words. Marc already disliked Rossi from Argentina that year, but he hid his true feelings like the fake that he is.
Exactly. That why we all love Vale.
Now I like Fabio as well. He doesn't get into drama.
Thank you Graham. Really like Valentino didn't know nothing about him, but very likeable person.
I had no idea Graham was such a MotoGP fan. I’ve never seen him so excited about an interview. Good grab Graham! You the Man!
I wish we had more supporters in the US media...
@@jordesign motorcycles are a luxury here unlike cars. So, we'll always be a little behind Asia and Europe regarding the popularity of bikes.
@@Van-tastic I get excited when Bill Burr talks about MotoGP on his podcast. It may only be for 2-3 minutes, but it's something....
I am still shocked he got this interview
@@grospipo20 I heard there is a MotoGP series coming, similar to Drive to Survive. Maybe they are starting to push for more press to build an audience?
Graham, you and your team are masters at your craft. These interviews will be watched for years, I dare say they are historically significant. Simply incredible.
If only he could wipe that creepy smirk off his face...
Graham either really knows motorcycle racing or he did his research. Either way, impressive. Excellent interview Graham.
If you are an interviewer, you gotta do the research if you want to stand out. I myself am a racing fan of F1 and MotoGP, been my whole life and i can tell Graham isn't really into racing as the way he speaks about it, tells he isn't into it really. Good questions and all, but not a racing fan i must say 🙂
Graham is a good interviewer. After his Interviews with John Mcenroe and Niki Lauda,he showed he does his home work on all of his interviewees. And with Niki,Graham also spoke to Toto Wolff and asked him about the race team. All the good interviewers Do there home work. Graham is one. The interview with Valentino is one of his best.🛵
I would bet G producer did the research and G just read the script he doesn't know anything about Moto road racing. 🤦♂️
@Lover boy okay lover boy
He also had his team of assistants
Maybe the greatest Motorsport athlete ever
SURELY - at least on 2 wheels
Probably True !
Remove the ‘maybe’!
Ma non dire cazzate 😂
@@titanio784 eppure tanta gente è d'accordo 😆
Barcelona seems to be a trouble spot both for Nico vs Lewis and Vale vs Lorenzo 😂😂😂
AT least vale and Lorenzo didn't crash on each other in that race 😂
It’s impossible not to have massive problems when you pair two number ones essentially. Rossi knew it before it happened as a legend does.
I think also at this point Rossi knew he had help Yamaha build the best bike on the grid and knew Lorenzo would be very very fast on it right away.
It would be interesting to get a little more insight as to what happened at Ducati, Seemed like Ducati didn't want to make the changes Rossi was asking for at the time, and I think Rossi knew to ride around those problems on the track could cause great physical harm and at this point in his career he wasn't going to do that. Also I think it really open Rossi's eyes as to just how good a rider Stoner is.
@@Thomas-qn4hj In fact after years Ducati finally chanced the bike frame in a more traditional one (like Rossi tried to explain to them) and now is the most complete bike on the grid.
Damn!! Follwed this guy for half of my life but never heard this story from him!! Thank You Graham Bensinger for this.
Rossi is just deeply in love with racing motorcycles. Like it’s a woman. A goddess. Emotionally committed to the sport, his bikes, team, friends, mechanics, tracks, victories, losses… everything! There is always deep emotion, passion and animation when he speaks. A racers racer. His competitors have typically just been in love with the podium. Winning or losing.
It’s a much bigger and fulfilling world Rossi lives in.
You are a class champion Vale.
I love this guy ,so humble so respectful
Rossi Lorenzo was the best motogp duo ever
Rossi is amazing, just love him and his great attitude! A real champion!
Awesome interviews!!
GOAT
Bom dia Povão! A rivalidade faz parte da competição , sempre com respeito . Forte abraço aí povão!
So happy to hear these stories!!!! Thank you so much!
Actually till now the stronger duet in Yamaha still Rossi and Lorenzo
Semakin didepan Petronas VALENTINO ❤️❤️🙌🏽
Loris capirossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Marck Marquez, Randy de Puniet, Max Biaggi, Nicky Hayden, Casey Stoner, Ben Spies, Colín Edwards, Andrea Dovisiozo, doesn’t matter VALENTINO is the MAN el campione in la gara Italy 🇮🇹
loved this bit. Says a lot about the toughness of lorenzo as well
Lorenzo is a man boy emotionally stunted he isn't tough at all. he's a crybaby living in Cry-Baby Society and you are a sad sack. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Lorenzo is a freaking robot, that's what i like about him, even though I'm a rossi fan, that man carves corners like an npc
@@chiefdenis Yeah, for sure, I'm a huge Rossi fan too, but I have no hate towards Jorge, THEY were rivals, not me and him, it has nothing to do with the fans so I'm a big Lorenzo fan as well, that guy was the smoothest rider I've ever seen on a bike, he didn't fight with his bike at all cause he was in control all the time.
@@Maidenintime86 very true, i was displeased with the shenanigans that took place in 2015, but I'm a fan of racing first of all, and i simply can't discount his credibility in racing
@@rider65I basically said nothing. The only guy who is being emotional is you. Must be a sad life when you get triggered over nothing.
What an incredible insight from the Moto GP God himself....Thank you Vale for sharing...
Stop creating false Idols out of human beings and stop worshipping false idols. stop being ignorant.
VR is a great former racer, but Jorge managed to beat him eventually. VR played mind games on many rivals, including Jorge, Biaggi, Gibernau, Stoner... but that tactic definitely did not work on Marquez.
It worked, the bitch lost in 2015 but he decided if he couldn't win nobody should except compatriots
@@donniebunkerboi9975 naaaa it didn't work because those mind games bite Rossi back in Sepang and he cracked and he lost the title🤣🤣🤣 He tried it again in Argentina in 2018 but then Marquez just went and capture the title comfortably.
It was funny and entertaining how Rossi made the likes of Giberneau, Lorenzo and Stoner crack but I must admit it was funnier when he tried it on someone stronger mentally and the mind games hit Rossi straight in his face🤣🤣🤣
Now waiting who will for the guy who will take Marquez down 🤤🤤
@@MrProcivil marquez retired dude check the news he’s eyes blind 🤣
@@chyfrkdominic2408 Maybe it's time for you to leave the caves of Tora Bora and see what's happening around the world because you're out of date dude.
@@chyfrkdominic2408 "Dude" you're an ejit..
Damn! his honesty!
"More than crazy, forse"
Rossi seem like a real down to earth guy.
Where xan i watch all of Graham's full interviews ?
wonder now if he ever regretted NOT going with HONDA.......
He raced with Honda and won championships both in 500cc (2001) as in moto GP (2002/2003). He then decided to race with Yamaha since many were claiming that he was winning thanks to Honda. Valentino the GOAT!
@@GladiatoreXD is the GOAT, LUCA! certo! wayone......but if he stayed w/honda who I think is the superior bike, whe would have more championships than the great agostini
@@mml1224 agree with you 👍🏻
Maybe he will never win championship if he didn't go to honda first.
All honda crew and engineers move to yahama. He should thanks to honda for success
@@browsetube4366 You are actually very silly. Lin Jarvis was not at Honda, Brent Stevens was Biaggis mechanic at Yamaha in the early 2000s. Mateo Flamini was always with Yamaha. Honda mechanics would not have been allowed to do that. Only Rossi's friends who have nothing to do with the bike, went to Yamaha. You are an idiot.
Valentino is a super interviewee
Mat Mladin vs Ben Spies too in AMA teammates and enemies
Lorenzo and Marquez are sleazy guys
Imagine Ben spies watching this...
It was him during the Italian Gp i guess when he decided to walk away from yamaha and it was him walking away that allowed rossi to come back to yamaha...talk about Fate
🖤
"forse" haha
È divertente sentirlo quando mette sempre in mezzo qualche espressione italiana. :)
VR46 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ forever and ever 😭😭🙏
Hope he does one with Seb Ogier
He's in GT2 now
Lorenzo was the only teammate who beat him he beat him with the same bike no excuses
Except the fact that Vale lead the development
Factos
@@daniels.2720 That went well for him then ..... 😂
i am still wondering why vale is so hungry that people said he had the best bike. :)
Rossi: Can I come back?
Yamaha: NO.
Thats the new fact, he said before he move to Yamaha again in 2013 Honda already give him offer but he stick with Yamaha 😄 thats why Honda lil bit sensitive againts Vale wkwkwk
Lorenzo with Marquez screwed Rossi out of the title in 2015 at the last race in Valencia. Where Marquez was clearly faster that Lorenzo, but didnt pass him. Because if he would, Lorenzo would have lost the Championship to Rossi. That is why i will never forgive Marquez neither will i forgive Lorenzo.
Journalists were shocked when Rossi started this nonsense rumour at the Phillip island circuit. In that race 93 passed 99 and won the race so how was he helping 99?
He only has himself to blame for 2015, at Sepang he lost the plot and got penalized for it.
Weep my friend
both 93 and 99 both are Spanish they did what they did to make their country win.
Tbf the reality was Marquez just didn't want Rossi to win after incidents in Termas and Assen on that year,
rather than helping Lorenzo because of their nationality, which is nonsense.
@@JohnDoe-zj6xf that's nonsense because both 93 and 99's relationship wasn't that good either.
Termas & Assen 2015, Marquez didn't want Rossi to win because of those moments
In motoGP no team call like F1,,, more competitive
Omg that the real story about Vale, Yamaha and his bad team mate,bad situation in team yamaha,I think Yamaha was wrong making decision so Vale leave Yamaha at that time,maybe if Hayden or any else rider to be his team mate,not jorge at Yamaha I believe vale will can more onjoy to get maybe 1 or 2 titel WC motogp.
lorenzo seems like he had his personality removed. so mardy if he didnt win.
As per the human who created the RC honda its an Incredibly hard bike to ride among motogp machines. It's dem couch racers who could win from the couch every race who say he can win because honda, same dudes who think Toprak deserves motogp factory as if factory is easier and faster lmao But Vale showed he can win. Also laptimes of the 2011 and 2012 Ducati was faster than 07 08 09 10 ducati, just that year 2011, other machines gamed up a step ducati wasn't able to match. But it was faster than previous ducatis.
He saved Yamaha.
He bigger than motogp
No one is bigger than the sport. Not Vale, not Agostini, not Roberts
get max verstappen graham
Hmmm, my estimations of his character took a slight dip, when he said he wanted a team mate (Lorenzo) that was a bit less than him. Thought he was a bit more fair with racing, and wanted to prove he was no 1 through skills, & not get upset with a competitive team mate.
Steve, this is also the other reality/side of motoracing. Have you an idea how hard is beeing in that spot? If you are a top 1 rider and you must racing against other companies top 1 riders to win, you expect that your team work only for you. Competition at this level is hard, he admitted that and admitted how strong Lorenzo was, i think an honest act.
anyone in f1 or motogp will want to have a less competitive team mate so they’re less likely to be kicked out of the team
Less competitive teammate means more resources will be pooled to you. Imagine if Hamilton had joined Ferrari, Rosberg might be 4-5 times WC, since he’s the 2nd fastest man on the grid for a few years in a row. Because Hamilton is slightly faster than Rosberg, he got most of the attention from the team. It’s not a coincidence that once they swap team personnel, Rosberg won that championship. Being the 2nd driver gives you quite a bit of disadvantage in the team.
I think he just didn't word it well. For me he was trying to say that after what all he has achieved with the team, he deserved to be the clear number 1 for the team.
He's a person not a robot !
yamaha did rossi very dirty tho.
This is why he is better that Marquez.
Better at spending 12 years without a title, kicking fans, pushing marshals, getting his fan'atics to act like jerks, making false accusations about other riders when he just wasn't good enough himself... etc
@@efilrekib4446 awwwww🤣🤣🤣🤣
Marc isn't anything really. Rossi being better at this moment in time goes without saying. We are waiting to see what marc can do in his 30s if he can even have the balls to stay and fight with youngsters like Rossi did and beat them, including himself.
@@efilrekib4446 We will see how many titles Marquez will win after his 30s. Vale at least basically won one at 37 if a 22 years old prime Marquez wouldn't have nothing better to do to prevent a 37 years old to win the title.
@@f0ns0r Basically won what at 37, what are you driveling on about?
You deserve a rider less then you? Sounds like a cop out. Get better. if the other rider is better then you. Then you need to figure out how to be better. Asking for a weaker opponent is shitty.
His observation is correct. Two big egos in a team is a recipe for shit show. And it was.
@@radman3206 Thats because both egos couldnt get over themselves.
A good example of 2 top riders working together is Suzuki. Rins and Mir are amazing team mates. And both are top tier riders.
@@CrypticApathy Firstly, without an ego, you are not going to have trouble succeeding at elite level in anything, but especially sports. Secondly, despite his successes, Rossi has remained an overwhelming people’s favourite and invariably comes across as a humble, nice guy. He is clearly more at home spending time with his childhood friends than hobnobbing with the elites. Given his record, he is entitled to express his opinion on a suitable running mate.
@@radman3206 Yes he can express his opinion but opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. MM93 never asked for a weaker team mate to be better. He just did what he does and won. While i think that may no longer be true for him. Look at the last 2 winners. fabio quartararo and Mir, both GP champions. Both with Top tier team mates. And they still came out on top.
Rossi was looking for a easy way out.
@@CrypticApathy Rossi is the GOAT, and none of your bile will change that. Skulk off to your own mediocre little world.
Rossi made sure he never had Stoner as a team mate at Yamaha..
No, he didn't
@@veluxcondor Well Stoner has recently revealed that he had a chance to join Yamaha, but someone prevent him
@@mArvAlcao71 and?
@@veluxcondor just saying. He revealed that
Just remember, Stoner does not even have a quarter of the championships Rossi has. Stoner is not even in the top 10 best riders of all time.
Marquez needs to win on a different bike to take the GOAT title away from Rossi
Only in your head....
@@efilrekib4446 not really....that's how it works...rossi set the new bar
@@TheFujac Try doing some historical motorcycle racing research son.
@@efilrekib4446 what is that supposed to mean? Rossi was champion, then left and became champion on another bike.....marc hasn't done that yet which is why rossi is the GOAT and marc is just great.
@@TheFujac Hailwood or Surtees are more so than Rossi ever was.
Hahaha honda
Has MV got the nerve to look at himself in the mirror and say I won the championship fairly? No, he cannot. Because he is very well aware that he DID NOT. It is the same as getting exam questions ahead and getting an A*. You go home and leave with your conscience.
It can be painful, not off cause if are used to cheating..
Who's MV?
Get off the drugs son, they're affecting your brain cell.........
Poor sport as always
How come you where never the fastest with the Ducati like stoner was you always had the best equipment Valentino don’t kid yourself
Because the ducati was not set up well for him he complained about for 2 years. He Said the bike was shit and it was only in the last 3 seasons the ducati bike has been up to par!
2007 Ducati has the strongest pace on straights that helps Stoner a lot. Most of his overtakes are on the straights not corners
When Yamaha signed JLo, VR46 blood boiled because he understood that he was half the rider that Lorenzo was.
He never got a teammate which is just as fast as him before Lorenzo. I kinda get his feeling back in late 2007
What a joke😂😂 Lorenzo who? A lucky 2010 winner and a cloudy 2015 winner. Rossi is GOAT or at least among the GOATs. Who is Lorenzo jdjot?
