Valentino Rossi: A tour of my warehouse and VR46 HQ

Valentino Rossi offers a detailed tour of his VR46 headquarters in Tavullia Italy, including his deep arsenal of high-performance motorcycles and his ecommerce business. The nine-time MotoGP champ explains how his business has grown from housing just three bikes to the warehouse full of equipment he shows off during the tour, and how the ecommerce side grew from a line of eight products to selling 800 items today. Later, Rossi says he employs 100 people, more than any other business in Tavullia.
IN ITALIANO: Valentino Rossi offre un tour dettagliato della sua sede VR46 a Tavullia, incluso il suo arsenale di motociclette ad alte prestazioni e la sua attività di e-commerce. Il nove volte campione della MotoGP spiega come la sua attività sia cresciuta dall’avere sole tre moto al possedere un magazzino pieno di attrezzature - che mostra durante il tour -, e come l’e-commerce sia passato da una linea di otto prodotti all’attuale vendita di 800 articoli. In seguito Rossi afferma di avere 100 dipendenti, più di qualsiasi altra azienda a Tavullia.

It's so beautiful to see Vale enjoying his well deserved retirement....

[@rossomature9757]

Valentino Rossi is really a talented legend of MotoGP after Michael Doohan.

[@ur1man]

@@rossomature9757 Rossi has better stats.

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

retired? He has a business and drives a BMW in the WEC.

[@plantfeeder6677]

Ya that lasted about 6 months. Retired from 2-wheels like Surtees, Leonard, and all the rest of the former greats did.

[@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

[@argjendsalihu905]

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

[@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?

[@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]

@@Testedecazzo he's more than a legend for me. Everyone will know him and his knows for ages.

As I was born in 1980, I could follow almost all his carrer during these years, I would like to say, thanks for everything that you has showed inside the tracks even you are not running on MotoGP any more, you are the best so far, have a long life Vale 👍🏾

[@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.

[@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.

[@blackestskyline9732]

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

[@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.

[@klote82]

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!

[@castelnedd]

Great human, great moto-x track at home, legend of a rider. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@AREKSUROBOYONANGBELGIA]

I appreciate even that on his last season he was not competitive enough because he did not spare his time only for motogp but for his company also which is really good and he showed that become an athlete not only buy something luxury but build a company that he has passion into it

[@markymark5808]

Doctor on the track and a doctor of business. Legend .

[@chanchaniceman]

Easily a genuine GOAT not just motogp but also in motorsports and sports in general. Up there with Football’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi,tennis’ Roger Federer,Rafael Nadal,Novak Djokovic,basketball legend Michael Jordan and F1’s very own Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna. Vale’s Fast and flamboyant but also humble

[@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.

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.
