Valentino Rossi was the star of a talk show in Italy: the issue “Che tempo che fa”, presented by Fabio Fazio. The doctor lifted the veil on certain unknown aspects of his life and his journey. Like his daily life. We thus learned, among other things, how he had arranged his home... With the four Yamahas of his world titles, one of whom even shares his nights...

The motorcycle, for the Doctor, is not only a beautiful work tool used during the Grands Prix. This machine shares his life and even his privacy. An affection that he confirmed on the airwaves of the first Italian channel: “ I have in the house each of the four Yamahas with which I was World Champion. One is in the office, one in the garage, another in the living room. I use them when I go from one room to another! » he jokes.

However, he adds: “ I also have one in my room. It's from 2004. The victory at Welkom was one of the best of my career. I keep her close to me. I'm very proud of what I did in 2004. I could have stayed at Honda and continued to win. But I decided to go to Yamaha and that was the thing that gave the most spice to my career ».

It should be noted that he has no Honda among his furniture. Mark with which he still brought back three crowns: “ When the season is over, the Japanese destroy their motorcycle by crushing them in the press. I have often tried to understand why. I told them to give them to me instead if they didn't know where to put them. I don't have any Honda, unfortunately."

A destruction that goes badly with the Doctor whose passion exudes from this last remark relayed by GP One : " Before each race, I spend about 40 minutes kneeling next to the bike. I am talking to him. In some ways it's like a love story ».
