How This One Man Changed An Entire Sport ( Valentino Rossi Documentary)

how legend he is? in Indonesia, when i was a child and want to play motogp in playstation rental, we don't say "i want to play motogp" to the operator, but we say "i want to play motor rossi". he could even change the motorsport name in our heart:)

You know he's the GOAT, when you watch MotoGP on TV and your Mom/Sister/whoever people that never watch motogp Passes by then ask "hey where is Rossi? or "Oh, you're watching Rossi Again" Even tho he already retired at this point

I am italian and the difference between Rossi and other sport millionaire is that Rossi still talk with anyone in his native village or wherever he goes in the world, He doesn't look down on anyone just because he's famous. He was and has remained the same village boy who helps others. Sometimes you can also see him in London where he has a house, and loves the English, and unless he's in a hurry with his family you can talk to him comfortably. Rossi has maintained the roots of a simple boy, difficult to see in other famous ones. And this makes the difference of why people love him as well as the skill of his motorcycle riding.

Injuries and Age, take everyone, no exceptions. "You didnt go to watch MotoGP, you went to watch Valentino Rossi perform magic" Actually fighting, surpassing his limits, not just dominating and going home, made him truly the G.O.A.T

Lots of riders have their style of winning in a race. Doohan let you behing 5 laps and than he just disappear. Casey, Lorenzo and Marquez have the same style, to dissappear from start and kill you mentally. But Rossi had the hardest style, it's called 'cat and mouse'. Let you pass him, then he passes you, and in the last lap or lap early he just passes you and win. That is the hardest thing you can play with your opponents. That's why he is master class

Greatest of his era? Absolutely, yes. Greatest of all time? Without question, there has never been anyone like Rossi. The guy is a magician.

The number 46 is so strong that almost every biker has a sticker of that number in his helmet or bike here in Brazil, and 90% of that guy's never watched motoGP, but everyone knows the doctor, he's a legend.

Even when I didnt know anything about motor racing, I knew about Rossi and Schumacher. They took their otherwise niche sports to global recognition

There’s winning, and there’s winning with style. What a character. Made MotoGP so much more than bike racing.

I was named Valentino after Valentino Rossi and 16 years after I was named that we found out I had the same birthday as well! Complete coincidence but what a worthwhile man to be named after 😊

Last ever 500cc champ, Won in every class he participated in, before his big injury in 2010 he beat all the rivals that were thrown at him. He's the greatest to me! Only Marc can rival him in the sense of being a step above the others. I'm just glad I was alive during his reign, to watch him perform magic.

The craziest thing about rossi in my eyes is that he's insanely quick no matter what vehicle. F1 car, GT car, motorcycle... he can do it all

I was at COTA in Austin, TX for the races and Rossi's farewell season. He didn't finish anywhere near the front, but easily more than half of the crowd in attendance was cheering him on. Yellow smoke was everywhere and it was clear that even in the twilight of his career that 46 was #1 in the fan's eyes.

When you stack his career up against other incredible champions like Doohan, Stoner, Lorenzo and Marquez - Rossi's longevity and durability is honestly insane. The fact his last MotoGP win came 17 years after his first at the age of 38 is honestly mind blowing in a sport where a couple of injuries can dramatically change the course of people's careers.

This man is a big part of the reason I fell in love with motorcycles and just bought my first one today

I cant be more grateful that i watched live all Schumacher and Rossi era races with my dad as a small child. I was more Biaggi fan but later on i knew Rossi is a legend because he was in the sport so long. And me as a huge endurance and GT3 fan i love that his passion continues on. Thanks for this flashback of his carrier. Nice vid.

thanks for reuploading this. I missed it the first time it was uploaded, but this was genuinely one of the best motorsport documentaries I've ever seen.

Valentino Rossi is a legacy. A brand. An inspiration to millions. His name as his achivements have become so much bigger than the man himself. What a.racer. What a champion! What an amazing human being. GOAT of MotoGP, VR46, Valentino Rossi.

He's simply the G.O.A.T. No other title could be more fitting for Valentino Rossi after everything that he has done for the world of motorbikes and racing.

I used to take Sundays away from my business, to watch Wayne Rainey, Kevin Shwantz, Rossi and the rest on cable TV. Rossi was god more or less. I suddenly re-entered motorcycling after about 20 years. Then I didn't have time to ride because I was watching TV. That was over 30 years ago. Today I rode with my son on a loop around a local lake on our bikes. I had stopped watching when I started exploring back roads. It was incredible, you are right. Brought me back to bikes, Rossi did.
