'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!
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 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.
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!!!!
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 👍🏾
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.
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.
Respected Rossi generation will remember you. Legends born in centuries. You are Phd in your job... No words to appreciate you. You made the history... We love you.... One of Pakistani fan....
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?
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.
@@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.
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
He is Not only a legend or best motorbike rider but also he is also a good human , Listen what the one of the employee of his oldmen saying about him , is very important & precious ..
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
wow...i kind of suprise rossi got that all in his warehouse,hes a big legend in gp so humble..good luck to you rossi in retirement,well hes got a good business now for that VR46 thats a big brand name now
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
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.
What a human/legend He is really one of the greatest rider/person that i ever have seen. I follow vale46 from day 1 in the 125cc My next tattoo wil be one of vale no doubt!! Grazi vale 💯☝❤ #thebest #46
I got a photo with Rossi in 2008 at the Yamaha sales convention. I was the only one to get a photograph with him. So lucky and will always have that picture
I survived many years of fast Street riding, the things that I learned was that as long as the love overcomes the fear you will be fast but when the fear overcomes the love it’s time to step off
Terimakasih vale telah memberikan kami balapan yang sangat apik di setiap musim, kami akan selalu mengikutimu dimanapun kamu balapan baik dimotor ataupun balapan dimobil, kami harap suatu saat nanti kamu bisa balapan di sirkuit mandalika indonesia.
Fun fact. Valentino is still missing the NSR500 from 2001. Honda dosent want him to get the bike back. As it was displayed in Valencia, Honda quickly shipped the NSR500 back to Motegi. So Rossi coudnt get it home 😅
@@TheAnipeace That's not the case, but Honda promised back then that it would gift Valentino that bike. They never did it.. That's why he still trying to get it after 21 years

It's so beautiful to see Vale enjoying his well deserved retirement....
Valentino Rossi is really a talented legend of MotoGP after Michael Doohan.

@@rossomature9757 Mick was awesome, but Vale changed the sport forever.
retired? He has a business and drives a BMW in the WEC.
Ya that lasted about 6 months. Retired from 2-wheels like Surtees, Leonard, and all the rest of the former greats did.

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?
Never seen employees love their employer so much.
I guess its more of a family!
Well if i work for my idol, I'd be happy too
That was the most awesome part of this vid!
the undeniable GOAT, so grateful for all these insights
How can anybody dislike this guy …the champion and the living legend…thank you vale …

I'm going to miss VR46 on the track this year. He's kept me entertained since 1996.
Man I feel old.
Always remember Rossi as that goofy fun loving kid.
Love how he brought so many jobs to his hometown. Stayed there
Hearing Valentino drop an f-bomb cracks me up, he just seems so genuine. Greatest of all time.
He is such a humble guy......he is the legend 🙏
until he gets beaten..haha

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

The best part was the old italian chef, how he was able to express himself about Valentino. Amazing the #VR46 headquarters! 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
Not only the GOAT but I see an entrepreneur as well. Forza Vale Eterno!!!!!
Sportivamente lo amo e l'ho sempre seguito, ma quando parla inglese, raggiunge proprio l'apice!! Sei stato e sarai sempre un grande!! W Vale!!!

VR is the GOAT of MOTO GP Thank you Graham for the look behind the curtain. Would love a more in depth look at the lunchroom in his warehouse.
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
i love his energy. down to earth, yet achieved so much.. Just amazing.
His English comprehension is interesting- he clarifies things so simply.
started watching motogp because of him and only to see him on track. Beautiful memories 💛💚
Damn this guy is really wholesome and honest. How does people hate him I don't know.
Privileged to share a slice of time with this bloke. What a champion.
He was great since he was a junior racer. One of the few people in the world I would trade places with.
I haven’t watched motogp since Vale retired. Miss the good old days. Love this video.
I had no idea he was so into his business. Seems to have everything in order. Brilliant man.

The best rider ever and an amazing person outside the tracks! FORZA VALE!!
Introducing the uninitiated to Vale is something that brings me so much joy.

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.
4:32 Ayrton Senna! The GREATEST F1 pilot of all times! Respect!
Great idea Graham. Baffles me after all these years I've never seen VR on ESPN or the like.
