Valentino Rossi: Committing to Francesca after her ultimatum

Not even European and British broadcasters have been able to secure this kind of access. These interviews are always brilliant!

Because they care more about drama than the truth

Rossi’s always been unconventional, which is why he probably agreed to do this interview Graham.

Rossi is a very rare real human being. Fame has not changed him, though it has made him wary, as is to be expected. His wife reflects this, a real woman and so do his friends - the same ones since childhood. Fabulous encounter.

[@Wakeupproductions]

True.

[@chanchaniceman]

Despite his flamboyant off tracks antics,the guy has been the same ever since he stepped on to those two strokes to where he is now. Really humble and genuine despite his on tracks success

Bruh, I felt like I was in that room with them. This was more like an interesting conversation between 3 people meeting each other than a boring interview. I kept smiling during the whole video. Great insight!

[@GrahamBensinger]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it - DF

[@aris1956]

Here the whole thing is also facilitated by the location. Sitting at a table in a restaurant, eating good Italian food and having a beer. So it feels more like a conversation between “old friends”, who find each other again after a long time. A completely different situation than a boring TV studio or something like that.

[@tomfull6637]

Same here! Took me back to my young years 40 years ago with my motorcycling friends at their pizzeria after closing hours 🥰

[@dennismartinez9671]

Hahaha 🤣😅...I could agree more

[@spencethegreat38]

Dude right? This felt so genuine and authentic. Nice change of pace from 2 heavy lit chairs in a large room.

[@stephenshaw8466]

Vale is the real deal. Genuine, funny, a gentleman. The way he lights up is just infectious and you can tell he’s living a dream life. He had that look back in 1996 and still does today even without the motorcycle. I’ll sure miss him at the races but he and Franci will be wonderful parents to that little girl!

[@papaconcarne1]

Rossi is a true Italian Gentleman and his Wife are an incredible package together!! God bless them both!

[@miainsen70]

Amen

Never ever to this level during his racing (that I know of anyway).

[@MalShakur]

Yeah, been watching this dude for over 20 years and never seen him so candid before.

[@aabidamn]

Even if Marquez surpasses Rossi's title record, the impact Rossi had for MotoGP to the world is unparalleled so far. Not only he was a great rider, he was a culture icon and phenomena. No other MotoGP champion has gained more attention & popularity than VR46.

[@Heru_SanSiro]

ᴠᴀʟᴇ is champion of our heart, there are others good rider in world but Vale is legend of motogp. Vale is motogp. In my country ɪɴᴅᴏɴᴇsɪᴀ Rossi is rider with the biggest fans. Saluut the doctor... Salute Valentino Rossi #46

[@anferneefigueroa7635]

It’ll be the same as every sport. The first person to be called Greatest of All Time, will set the bar for everyone else. Even if there are others to surpass that person in stats or records, it’ll be hard to beat the fact that, the person beforehand set it to be that high and he/she could’ve done more or better if the roles were switched. Look at the Jordan-LeBron debate. Messi/Ronaldo. What will be Brady and Mahomes. Marquez and Rossi. Nadal and Djokovic. It’s a high bar to set and surpass the previous “GOAT”.

[@thesheepman220]

Marquez will not be world champion again in motor GP he’s done his brother maybe these younger riders are too good and getting better same as Lewis in F1

[@harithdanial141]

​@@thesheepman220considering on how kept his riding style I'm not shocked if he retired early. He only can keep consistent (not winning title again) if he change his ride style. Rossi is reason why MotoGP go worldwide

[@ReeceH46]

So nice to see Valentino happy in retirement, what a rare treat this was for him to allow us into his private life. Well done to Graham for all the great questions throughout these videos.

[@salvatoreforte5748]

I’m an italian fan of Vale since i can’t remember And i never saw an interview this intimate Great to know these personal stuffs from the legend himself! Great interview

[@zavodszkiabel7919]

Graham is a decent interviewer who knows how to deal with people.

[@udxpierre]

People can say about this bloke what they want. With fans, interviews you name it, always solid and seems like he is himself.

[@spooge33]

I have so much respect for people that speak English with such confidence when it's obviously a second or maybe third language. As an American I just couldn't see myself attempting another language. Once again, confidence.

[@rauld3560]

only way of learning a new language is practicing, get some confidence!!

[@SocietyUnplugged]

Most native English speakers are very kind and gives me the confidence I need. Knowing it's not the end of the world if I can't find the rights words or making mistakes, takes away a lot of pressure.

[@dhupee]

Watch movies help a lot

[@gabrielegrimaldi5026]

As an Italian, we know that our language is very unused and not very widespread in the rest of the world. So even if the english level of an average Italian person is kinda low for a country like ours, we must put some work into learning at least the basics and being able to have a decent conversation with a native english speaker. Also in Italy knowing English well is a significant competitive advantage when you're looking for a job, since not many Italians know how to properly speak in english. Not that this is a problem that really concerns Vale ahahah.

[@spooge33]

@@gabrielegrimaldi5026 I worked with an RF Engineer from Italy. He was very intelligent. Even in his broken English he spoke more eloquently than I ever could. He used English words that I never used. I say Was because my friend Giuseppe died of cancer. He would attribute his abdominal pain to a hernia. Didn't like doctors. He was a special man. He holds a patent in his field of Radio Communications. I'm rambling. I miss him.

In 2017 I visited da Rossi ristorante in Tavullia, a few days before Mugello. It is a fantastic place! I remember the dish with the giant chicken leg, also the very slow service…because the guys were watching Monaco F-1 qualifying on the TV! Hey, that's OK, I enjoy the whole time.

[@LesroyBuckley]

It's so nice to see Vale chilled with a pizza and beer! What a legend 👏

[@siccodegroot8710]

[@lnvr46]

@@LesroyBuckley I was there last year during the Misano weekend and literally waited one hour as the first in the queue until they finally opened the restaurant. 😅 It was so crowded and noisy, but the staff was really friendly and the pizza is good. Plus where in the world can you sit this close to Vale’s racing suits and stuff

[@michaelshepherd9733]

He is an absolute character.

[@eppsislike]

I think us major fans of Valentino can easily spot how important Francesca has been to Valentino and what a major complement she is to his life. Ever since they're together, he's more open to the world, ready to transition into a new phase of life. The man deserves her everybit and viceversa.

I too took an ultimatum from a wonderful woman who divorced me after 2 years because I was not ready for life at that point. As we get older we learn what life really is about and now I would have been for many years now the husband my ex wanted so hopefully these two do not have the very long road finding out what life can throw at you but money tends to mask many everyday problems most of us have which they will not.
