[@drajatlocalpride_L43]

I can see the happiness from the old man as a bartender when he offered the pizza....He's so grateful to be hired as a member of VR46.... , Grazie Vale!!!!

[@1anre]

Who wouldn’t. His pay would be larger than anything he’s ever earned & he gets to cook for the big boss personally. Wouldn’t you be honored, too?

[@muzzaball]

'He is the best man I have ever met in my life' - that's a hell of a praise from one of your staff. I was gunna say that he was/is a great racer, and he puts back into the sport, and he employs people from his own town but that 1st quote just sums it up perfectly. Love you VR!

[@Ventitrer]

Yeah man, that was crazy

[@argjends19]

Yeahh he is a legend but dont forget he gets a lot of money of course he will not forget the sport hahah😂

[@syedshabih1798]

I think hes the GOAT of motorsports period. I dont watch MotoGP, i am a F1 fan, but F1 drivers make a lot of money and i cant think of any drivers who have a driver academy, giving youth the chance, making it a bit easier for them. and then targeting having a team in MotoGP. its just amazing. How proud he would have been on his last day in MotoGP. So many drivers from his academy in all categories wearing his number on their helmets. LEGEND.

[@TheDatpussy]

Alonso has a gokart academy

[@wallace4667]

Nico Rosberg too, but i get your point

[@Testedecazzo]

Not a legend 🙄😴

[@syedshabih1798]

@@TheDatpussy Yeah, but so does Lando too i think. But they aren't like managing. Alonso is the same age as Rossi and has a similar length of career. But my point is that valentino's riders are already in all categories of motoGP. Getting to motoGP might be easier than f1. but he is still making a really big impact. Just imagine how proud he'd be when one of his guys wins the championship. He passed that mantle on, and now has a team too to send more talent through.

[@syedshabih1798]

[@sadbuttrue5005]

I'm so grateful that i can witness him race, he's putting a big legacy in the world of motorcycle (if not automotive) racing.

Hes such a joy to listen to talk about racing, Rossi rides with pure heart and joy which is why he'll never lose that smile!

[@blackestskyline9732]

For every Valentino's fans, this place feels like heaven 🤤

[@F110mech]

So glad Graham Bensinger interviewed Rossi! I first met Rossi and Colin Edwards in the Castrol Honda garage during the 2000 Suzuka 8 hour race. Rossi was riding that VTR1000SP like he stole it. I've been a die-hard fan ever since that day.

[@GG-pr3yo]

How can you not love this guy??? So personable and honest......

[@dedyathonk2149]

The reason why I keep watching MotoGp though my VR46 hero doesn't race again is that I am still able to watch his dedication , fighting spirit and kindness to give talented young riders a team to develop and achieve their dreams. Salut....for you, my endless hero. Love VR46 forever....MotoGp is nothing without you.

[@castelnedd]

[@JeffWallick]

I know basically nothing about VR, but it's clear to see why so many F1 drivers respect (and even idolize) him. Awesome piece.... how about an interview or two with some of the current F1 grid?

[@robbiemacdonald777]

He did Hamilton a 3 or 4 years ago

[@lupreztryson]

Think of him like the Michael Schumacher of motogp..this guy’s a 9time world champion

[@Jimmie92]

He did Lewis 5 years ago man. Let’s let MotoGP have it’s spotlight without F1 being brought into the equation again and again just because a lot of the world ignorantly follows cars more than bikes.

[@pinkzeppelin1358]

Are you a new-born baby born in Dec2021 or a child born after 2015 ?? How can you be so IGNORANT lmao?? You don't know who he is ?? You live in a cave or Amazon Rainforest ? Bikes = VR46.

[@johnjandoh6732]

@@Jimmie92 Exactly. The only reason why some countries like England have F1 even competing with motogp is because sky sports news refuses to cover anything on Motogp. Probably because no English rider has gotten close to the top for at least 4 decades and they're bitter about it. Even still Rossi as well as motorcycle racing itself is still more popular than F1.

His employees actually look so happy. Testament to just how good of a dude this guy really is. And now that I think about, he might be the ONLY person from motor sports as a whole who started a driving school (including f1 and everything). In another life I would’ve loved to go there

[@tylerstannard4670]

He is in the modern day but Bob Bondurant was also a champion who had an amazing driving school for many years. His story was really great.

There are more ex riders and drivers that have driving schools. But probably Valentinos's academy is the most famous one.

@@scruffy01100000 no disrespect but hes just comparing his skills on the track and winning relax.. ppl r idiots

[@sultanoftippoo3857]

Some people transcend their sport and become legends after they retire. In Vales case he achieved that status whilst still competing in it. There are comments on here saying he hasn’t won championships for many years (which is true) and yet every MotoGP was a home race for him no matter where he competed right up until he retired. I can’t think of anyone who comes close to VR in bringing so many fans into a sport and leaving such a vacuum once they leave it.
