Grand Prix racing legend Valentino Rossi has once again opened up about the most intense chapters of his illustrious career during a promotional appearance on the Italian television show 'Che Tempo Che Fa'. Promoting his new autobiography titled 'La mia storia', written alongside Giorgio Terruzzi, the nine-time world champion reflected on legendary victories, unknown anecdotes, and emotional episodes that continue to resonate more than a decade later.
During the conversation, the Italian icon spoke candidly about his fierce rivalry with Marc Marquez back in 2015. Rossi stated that the Spanish rider was not genuinely fighting for the championship title at the time, but rather had the specific objective of making him lose, admitting that it remains a painful memory that still hurts to this day.
Reflecting on his roots, Rossi credited his father, Graziano, for introducing him to the motorsport world from a very young age. "I have always been a rider because my father, Graziano, was a rider. He was our connecting link to motorcycles, cars, and the world of motorsport. To play with me, he would take me around on a motorcycle or in a car, just like other fathers take their children to play football," Rossi recalled, emphasizing how deep his passion runs.
The conversation also shifted to the modern era of the premier class, where Rossi offered his expert perspective on current title contenders. Analyzing the grid, he pointed out that compatriot and protege Marco Bezzecchi possessed the sheer raw speed required to fight for the world championship crown this season, but ultimately fell short due to committing an excessive number of crucial mistakes throughout the campaign.
The newly released autobiography captures both the extraordinary triumphs—such as his legendary last-corner overtake on Jorge Lorenzo at the 2009 Catalan Grand Prix—and the vulnerable, personal side of a racing icon. Rossi noted that exposing himself so openly in print was a long-awaited project that he and his co-author pursued to completion, offering fans an unprecedented look into his legendary racing life.
