In my humble opinion, ANYONE that races on the IOMTT , is not a regular person. They are special because of what they do. One does not have to win the TT, just finish the race is a major accomplishment.My hat is off to each and every rider that has ever ridden the race.
Valentino is a great champion and a great human being. You can tell from this interview that he has a great respect for TT drivers. And he is right because what every TT pilot does is just unbelievable. Respect.
The TT is on a different level to anything else- you have to be willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING to be the best (or just compete!) Valentino knows this and has deep respect for the riders that set out each year to conquer it
Yeah, TT is a whole nother monster. Track is finesse, lots of skill, perfect timing, and every move counts. In TT it's just balls to the wall pure speed and wrecklessness.
I like very much Rossi, not only for his talent well demonstrated in MotoGP, but because he is not arrogant. Honest enough to recognize the great value of the TT riders. A great sport man should be a gentleman inside a competition as well out side of it.
Rossi a good sportsman? What planet do you live on mate? He is a dirty cheat he kicks riders off there bikes in the Moto GP yea he is such a good sportsman that he is prepared to cheat in order to gain victory I respect the man because he can ride but that's it honestly I believe Marquez is a better rider than Rossi or even Casey Stoner people who haven't kicked other riders off there bikes because someone is constantly on there ass the whole race Rossi is a big child who has to get his way
@@bluehornet197 a lot would given half the chance, there is probably an hour long edit can be made of dirty riding 3 second clips from footage. You just sound like a Rossi hater- people generally hate famous people they don't know from jealousy.
@@robertlund5694 No man! It's about seeing the goodness out of a person. Mark and Valentino, Both are awesome racers. But the point here is! Who is a GOOD racer. And I am talking about pure and aggressive talent.
Great video. Thanks heaps ;) Isn't Rossi just the nicest 9 time World Champion you could ever meet? What a great guy. I like what Valentino said about the Isle of Man being a battle against the track, compared to MotoGP which is a battle against other riders on a safe track. Rossi wanted to say, "It takes the most humungous balls to race the TT," and almost did :)
He is a great rider but not nuts. NW200, TT, etc are not for "average" motorcycle racers. They are a different class. If GP was base jumping TT was the same without parachute. I like Rossi very much not just because what he is but because who he is. Never heard him saying anything negative about racemate or bike even when he had reason to. He is a shining example of fame and success worked hard for and well deserved.
I imagine this is a very old comment! Nowadays you can't hear him saying anything but bad, nasty, negative things about other racers-particularly one that's faster than he is....
+sennakaza Cool- I'm getting more and more comments like yours, but I've definitely got my share of nasty comments for my opinion of Rossi... He has very unique fans- they deny reality to support him....weird. I used to like him too actually... Just can't deal with the nasty comments to the press and purposely making Marquez crash. That's not a champions behavior. More like my ex wife's behavior really....
Valentino Rossi is an extremely high professional in motorcycle racing, with extraordinary technical, physical and mental preparation. The pilots of the TT-Race, in the vast majority are mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, teachers etc. with a good dose of courage and perhaps unconsciousness (judging by how many die each year) who in their spare time, race at the TT. So, before criticizing Rossi, please inquire and connect your brain to your mouth. Thank you !
Rossi might be a great Grand Prix motorcycle rider, but even he lacks the balls to ride the IOMTT. He has said so himself. He also states that riders who drive in IOM not only possess good riding skills but also have big cajones. OP GTFO with your bias and prejudice, IOM riders are a breed apart. Appreciate their skill and their heart to pursue something many of us dream, but a rare skilled few get the opportunity to do.
Racing in the streets are not professional,, Professional racers race in a professional track,,which is the race track,..VR is a professional and also world champion,,He is a living Legend!! No more words!!
AdamTheMan1993 no for sure not. You Need this english/ Irish touch to win the tt like mcguiness or Joey dunlop. Thats nothing for arrogant Italien bikers, believe me.
@@jumpes_official You don't need to be British or Irish to be able to master the Isle of Man TT, Rossi's fellow countryman Giacomo Agostini won the TT 10 times back when the TT was part of the MotoGP world championship
@@AdamTheMan1993 Rossi is too scared of the TT. Track with runoff, sure he'll go full throttle. On a street with walls..... he'd maybe make top 15. Just the way it is dude, it's balls and accepting risk more over skill and technique like James Hillier has said before. If you're afraid to go 100% throttle when it might cause you to crash and die you won't win.
You can have pros and cons but IOM TT is something else, Rosi himself said so in a very perfect description "It's a race against the Island". Anyone that comes here for a race is unbelievably brave not stupid (stupid ppl can only do negative disrespectful comments). One can not compare MotoGP and IOMTT, two concepts that are so different beyond any comparison.
Rossi is great for motorcycling and we will all miss him when he retires but for me road racing is the most exciting form of racing , I live in Ireland and have been to loads of races it's unreal how fast these guy go on normal roads and you can drive down the same road the next day and see how fast you can go just don't get caught
John Jandoh he doesn’t mean just fun with the context, he says “it’s funny, it’s impressive” meaning it’s that impressive when he saw it he couldn’t help but laugh about it, he knows it’s one thing to race on a track but the TT is a whole different beast

Ti vogliamo bene!!! 46 forever!!!
all of these nonsense comments . have you ever seen guy Martin saying that he can go win MotoGP..they both are different and people have died and injured in both the races though the numbers are different quite naturally. it is a shame to talk nonsense about such a legend Rossi. that shows your understanding of riders .
mark grice. May be he didn’t say it because he have respect. But let’s face it. He would do better in Moto GP against Rossi even if he might not win. Than Rossi would do on TT against him.
Rossi is a dirty cheat it's that simple he kicks riders off there bikes in the Moto GP just like how a child would the man can ride I will give him that but I question his victories because he kicks riders off there bikes a true legend doesn't do that
Yes he can win in motogo easily.But winning at the TT is different.And what do you mean quite naturally ofcourse the deaths are higher at the TT because the risk is greater than in motogp
I'm sure if Rossi did decide to race at the TT, he would be successful, but it takes 3 years to learn, Rossi has no intention of doing it & he's a bit old to be starting now, although age doesn't effect performance as much road racing as it would Short circuit, short circuit requires youth. But then again Rossi is still on top and he is 37. Hailwood, Agostini,Foggy & Hizzy were very successful at TT. They were all track racers too, so Rossi could be just as successful on the roads.
+John Stamos Does someone with only 10 dollars risk less? The number zeros on the end will mean absolutely nothing once dead. You, me and Rossi will be in the same eternity with the same amount of dollars. 0.
+45eno nobody was talking about money tho. Anyhow, even if he is millionaire, he can spend his money and enjoy life just as good as you do. You don't need to think about once you'll be dead, you have to think what you should do now. And as long as he is happy with what he is doing nobody should interfere with his decisions. There's no reason to say he's got no balls, if you force someone at doing something he will quite certainly fail.
Vale ...Please run the TT before your retirement....that day for me and for the rest of fans of motorcycles will be the best day of the entire life..........sorry for my english...salutes and VVVVVVVVVVVVs !!!!!
Reading the comments I'd just want to point out that most MotoGP racers can race on the TT but due to insurance companies and contracts that they have signed they cannot participate. I bet Rossi and other top riders are going to fly just as fast as the TT riders.
I don't think the average GP rider would have the mindset to be immediately competitive at IOMTT. Even Rossi openly states the risk factor at IOM is far greater than GP racing and intimidates him. GP riders are finely tuned athletes riding finely tuned bikes, these road racers buy comparison are more like streetwise thugs. It's a completely different mindset. Though it would be of interest to put a few of the top road race guys onto a track against the GP guys. Better yet to find someone that could race IMO and Irish road and GP - that would be an impressive individual.
Tom Martin I am pretty sure a GP racer can race on IOMTT since British superbike racers participate and are doing pretty good. I am not sure about street racers getting anywhere near 1,2,3 place ever on a GP race like Rossi.
I'm a diehard Honda man, wouldn't consider riding anything else, not that other bikes aren't just as good or even better in some areas, but Rossi is the baddest man on 2wheels in the world. Lorenzo is on fire now, but so was Stoner two years ago, and he hasn't won a race this year, but he's coming to Honda now so I guess I have to start liking him.
In MotoGP there's alot of talk about the teams and the bikes and championship total standings, IOM is one race, one winner, and if you make one mistake you're dead. Very different. I sure do love watching the TT's though! The thrill!!
@TSR5000 Excellent assessment. Very well put and I can see this is in no way putting down Rossi. I rode for years and was nervous approaching 100 MPH on the open road. Could never imagine doing what these great riders do, on any race course anywhere. They all have balls of steel.
If only the gp riders had the heart and the balls to race here it is still a must have trophy to call yourself a great. The modern day circuits are just big go kart tracks and scratchets only need applie
Quim Roscas so all the riders who race here are stupid then ? I don't think so the senior tt has the greats of bike racing on it and ago, haillwood, Dunlop and other greats have raced here. go and ask carl foggarty what he thinks about the trophies he won here. road racers can adapt to tracks but the gp riders cant adapt to road racing because they cant handle the dangers of it . the senior tt is still a must have trophy to be a true great. oh and if you climb a mountain like Everest are you stupid for putting yourself in danger. do one and don't diss the tt the greatest bike race in the world, still
Jonathan Poole yes, like Roman coliseum was the best sport ever. A sport where you go to the limit and if you fail you die is not a sport, is like Russian roulette.
you stick up for the boring circuits that are boring and offer no challenge. fact is there scared but the riders at the tt can adapt to track racing. there are a lot of sports where people take on challenges knowing it can result in death such as mountaineering and round the world sailing. let rossi and co have a sratch round some large go kart track but the senior tt is full of legends on it who won on the isle of man. my advice to you is don't go out as you might get run over. if I was gifted to race in moto gp I would still race at the tt its not stupid, stupid
The are ALL fantastic Riders !!!! Rossi and the TT Riders are all great and outstanding. I know a Hallei Rider who is afraid by a speed of 90km/ h on a straight and wide german Autobahn Road....😂😂😂😂😂. He belongs to DEOS Riders😁
+GorillaProduction38 I would say, ask 26 time winner Joey Dunlop, but he died in Estonia in 2000. Dunlop would scrape his helmet on a wall, at one of the corners as he came flying around the circuit.
Isle of Man TT : A type of race which require the racers to have vibranium balls and adamantium manshood. All the TT riders are completely different breed of riders who prefer to shorten their lifespan with 100% adrenaline rush rather than having boring long years of living. Hats off and salute to all TT riders!
Rossi is a great rider but he's scared of the TT for some reason. I don't think he rides on the street either. I heard him saying that people that ride on the street are crazy.
The Gooch Aren't they crazy though in all seriousness haha. Come on its bloody nuts, thats why we or definitely I love it it just shouldn't be aloud but it is and its great!
@@steveazyb2595 if they want to they have to do it! END OF THAT. I hate if people say that should be illegal to have it or having no ABS as example because everyone can choose if hes able to or not! Im able to drive my bike trough rain, snow and ice without dieing so why should it be illegal? Because some guys are to stupid or in some tragic cases werent able to outrun the death?
@@themask706 ehm but cars, buses, trains, airplanes, ships are save ? yeah... and ive got an unicorn... the death is everywhere because you were born bro.. so dont give a fuck and live
Yeah, after watching other races that some of the TT regulars race at...especially the Irish road courses. Yeah, it does take a special person with total self control and concentration to do this. I stand corrected. But those races in Ireland, the streets are very narrow. Cookstown 100, Tandragree100, NW 200, you need some "pills" to run those flat out. Gil
Good link. As I have said I live on IOM so get to see all the TT races. I also go over to Ireland for the Northwest 200. As for the bikes been standard, that's only in Superstock where they are all production bikes straight out the showroom. In th TT and NW 200 they have different classes.
I have lots of respect for VR, he has proved himself time and time again, but he is a circuit racer on controlled purpose built tracks, high side at silverstone and the chances are you will get up and walk away. TT is a different story, there is no room for error and it takes pure guts and serious concentration to do what the likes of Mcguinness, Rutter, Dunlop and many others have done over the years. Isle of man TT racing sorts the men out from the boys, simple as that!
Rossi is great rider but he said he is glad it is not on GP calendar anymore, he knows how dangerous it is and that is why GP riders race on tracks, they are not willing to risk death like the TT riders are. 2 totally different types of races and racers. Both are great skilled riders but TT riders are skilled and brave and a bit crazy. Hats off to TT rider the only true ROAD racers still around, others are track riders.
@sourcecodeman - The TT is far more exciting that the rules laden GP can ever be again. I love GP and living in Austin we'll have it here soon. TT is THE place to race.
To be honest; both the tt and gp take tremendous skill. Ask anyone who rides track or street and they'll agree and that's why gp and riders and tt riders respect each other.
In my humble opinion, ANYONE that races on the IOMTT , is not a regular person. They are special because of what they do. One does not have to win the TT, just finish the race is a major accomplishment.My hat is off to each and every rider that has ever ridden the race.
agree with you
Sounds about right.
I want to lap it one day, but not at 300 kph, if not a leisurely pace. I'm sure riding in this island gives one goosebumps.
i disagree ..
full agreement!
Valentino is a great champion and a great human being. You can tell from this interview that he has a great respect for TT drivers. And he is right because what every TT pilot does is just unbelievable. Respect.
Agree with you..that tt guys have balls
Who tf valention is? Marquez is better
I'm Italian, and I think Rossi was one of the best riders of all time.. But the riders who run the TT are simply Dragons..
Rossi rides in a controlled safe track,not this savage brutal kingdom,he can't stand the brutal speeds
He admits the TT is another different race altogether,dangerous!!!n only the best real talented riders can conquer
They have no intrest to living😂
Right
The TT is on a different level to anything else- you have to be willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING to be the best (or just compete!) Valentino knows this and has deep respect for the riders that set out each year to conquer it

Started riding before Rossi was born. Started watching GP during the Mike Hailwood era. Also before Rossi was born.

I was driving cause of swanz

I'm a diehard Honda man, wouldn't consider riding anything else, not that other bikes aren't just as good or even better in some areas, but Rossi is the baddest man on 2wheels in the world. Lorenzo is on fire now, but so was Stoner two years ago, and he hasn't won a race this year, but he's coming to Honda now so I guess I have to start liking him.
1:07 the way He anticipates his body for the corner 👌
Top man ROSSI respect from uk
The way he says dvd's lol.
Justa from da Dee voo Dee
Excellent video :) thank you for sharing
Rossi is a gentleman.
In MotoGP there's alot of talk about the teams and the bikes and championship total standings, IOM is one race, one winner, and if you make one mistake you're dead. Very different. I sure do love watching the TT's though! The thrill!!
Pays a visit. He ain't a TT racer. He is a motogp rider.
Probably the nicest guy in racing.....
I like the way he speaks English 1:53..." I know alot about TT, but datz from the D VO D's"
@TSR5000 Excellent assessment. Very well put and I can see this is in no way putting down Rossi. I rode for years and was nervous approaching 100 MPH on the open road. Could never imagine doing what these great riders do, on any race course anywhere. They all have balls of steel.
rossi come and have a go for real. I find moto gp has become to professional and aloof these days.
If only the gp riders had the heart and the balls to race here it is still a must have trophy to call yourself a great. The modern day circuits are just big go kart tracks and scratchets only need applie
Jonathan Poole One thing is racing, other is risk you life for nothing. Having balls is the same as being stupid.
Quim Roscas so all the riders who race here are stupid then ? I don't think so the senior tt has the greats of bike racing on it and ago, haillwood, Dunlop and other greats have raced here. go and ask carl foggarty what he thinks about the trophies he won here. road racers can adapt to tracks but the gp riders cant adapt to road racing because they cant handle the dangers of it . the senior tt is still a must have trophy to be a true great. oh and if you climb a mountain like Everest are you stupid for putting yourself in danger. do one and don't diss the tt the greatest bike race in the world, still
Jonathan Poole yes, like Roman coliseum was the best sport ever. A sport where you go to the limit and if you fail you die is not a sport, is like Russian roulette.
you stick up for the boring circuits that are boring and offer no challenge. fact is there scared but the riders at the tt can adapt to track racing. there are a lot of sports where people take on challenges knowing it can result in death such as mountaineering and round the world sailing. let rossi and co have a sratch round some large go kart track but the senior tt is full of legends on it who won on the isle of man. my advice to you is don't go out as you might get run over. if I was gifted to race in moto gp I would still race at the tt its not stupid, stupid
The are ALL fantastic Riders !!!! Rossi and the TT Riders are all great and outstanding. I know a Hallei Rider who is afraid by a speed of 90km/ h on a straight and wide german Autobahn Road....😂😂😂😂😂.
He belongs to DEOS Riders😁
Geezus!!! TT race 10 times winner?! How's that even possible?
ask John McGuinness
+GorillaProduction38 I would say, ask 26 time winner Joey Dunlop, but he died in Estonia in 2000.
Dunlop would scrape his helmet on a wall, at one of the corners as he came flying around the circuit.
Carl Ruppersburg This is absolutely mad, I say... Well, at least he enjoyed his life living the hell out of it. RIP
+GorillaProduction38 insanely big balls
The racers compete in multiple races year so they have the potential of winning several times a year.
Isle of Man TT : A type of race which require the racers to have vibranium balls and adamantium manshood. All the TT riders are completely different breed of riders who prefer to shorten their lifespan with 100% adrenaline rush rather than having boring long years of living. Hats off and salute to all TT riders!
He’s being respectful, ok
Rossi is king of moto gp...and people know this.he also realizes that he is out of his league when it comes to the tt.it was nice to see him there.
Wander what sort of DVD's he been watching :-)
If you dont live for something, you are going to die for nothing.
MUCH respect for the TT riders!
"VR 46,the BEST!!!!!!"
Most educated comment ever! My hat's off to you Sir.
Rossi is a great rider but he's scared of the TT for some reason. I don't think he rides on the street either. I heard him saying that people that ride on the street are crazy.
The Gooch Aren't they crazy though in all seriousness haha. Come on its bloody nuts, thats why we or definitely I love it it just shouldn't be aloud but it is and its great!
@@steveazyb2595 if they want to they have to do it! END OF THAT. I hate if people say that should be illegal to have it or having no ABS as example because everyone can choose if hes able to or not!
Im able to drive my bike trough rain, snow and ice without dieing so why should it be illegal? Because some guys are to stupid or in some tragic cases werent able to outrun the death?
Smart man ,it is crazy to put your life in the hands of so many idiots .
@@themask706 ehm but cars, buses, trains, airplanes, ships are save ? yeah... and ive got an unicorn...
the death is everywhere because you were born bro.. so dont give a fuck and live
@@johannesdatblue4164 i agree to a point. These guys do choose to do it .
Grande vale ♥♥♥♥♥
Yeah, after watching other races that some of the TT regulars race at...especially the Irish road courses. Yeah, it does take a special person with total self control and concentration to do this. I stand corrected. But those races in Ireland, the streets are very narrow. Cookstown 100, Tandragree100, NW 200, you need some "pills" to run those flat out.
Gil
Good link. As I have said I live on IOM so get to see all the TT races. I also go over to Ireland for the Northwest 200. As for the bikes been standard, that's only in Superstock where they are all production bikes straight out the showroom. In th TT and NW 200 they have different classes.
TT IS FOR MEN WITH BIG BALLS, GP IS LIKE BARBIE..I'M FROM ISLAND SARDINYA.WHEN TT ISLAND SARDINYA ,WHEN?
Iu ar sardo?
yes i'm.
So how many GPs have you raced in Barbie?
you only 50 cc.
Ebbe sa briga innoghe
I have lots of respect for VR, he has proved himself time and time again, but he is a circuit racer on controlled purpose built tracks, high side at silverstone and the chances are you will get up and walk away. TT is a different story, there is no room for error and it takes pure guts and serious concentration to do what the likes of Mcguinness, Rutter, Dunlop and many others have done over the years. Isle of man TT racing sorts the men out from the boys, simple as that!
2019?? :v
Rossi is great rider but he said he is glad it is not on GP calendar anymore, he knows how dangerous it is and that is why GP riders race on tracks, they are not willing to risk death like the TT riders are. 2 totally different types of races and racers. Both are great skilled riders but TT riders are skilled and brave and a bit crazy. Hats off to TT rider the only true ROAD racers still around, others are track riders.
Did he race?
+RaphaelLee Peters Nope, he completed only a "Sunday drive" around the course.
He wouldn't be able to without a few years of experience
in your mouth
U guys need to have some respect! Rossi is a world champ and if he wanted to compete there im sure he would be a beast on the tt
When you have his sort of money, a long full life has plenty of attractions!
But even then, life is still fleeting
Thank You
He knows about TT from the “DVD’s “ ! Lol
@sourcecodeman - The TT is far more exciting that the rules laden GP can ever be again. I love GP and living in Austin we'll have it here soon. TT is THE place to race.
love U my Valentino rossi
To be honest; both the tt and gp take tremendous skill. Ask anyone who rides track or street and they'll agree and that's why gp and riders and tt riders respect each other.
number one for me other person and this person is Guy Martin : )
Guy Martin
compadreeeee!!! el mejorrr del mundo!! simplemente un verdadero campeon, demostrado de todas las maneras!!...Dr! eres lo mejor
