Fastest Page #2

But for every year

that you push your bike

and your body

to the limit,

you push your luck

to the limit, as well.

You can't be

the fastest forever.

And when the red lights go

out, nobody's looking back.

The past is behind you.

And there's only

one question.

Who's fastest now?

I like to ride

motorcycles- I enjoy a lot-

I go in the best

circuit in the world

with the best bike

in the world,

try to go

as fast as possible.

Until I have this taste

and this passion

for riding motorcycles,

why I have

to stay at home?

Rossi won six of

the 18 Grand Prixs in 2009,

Lorenzo, four.

Another world championship

for the Italian

and a step closer for Lorenzo,

who finished second.

Valentino has won

a lot of world titles.

And Valentino has done a lot of

things for the motorcycle sport.

So, you must have

a lot of respect for him.

But for me,

he is not a god.

If you work really hard,

if your technique is extremely

good, then you can beat him.

As important as winning

races, is not crashing out of them.

In 2009, Rossi failed to finish

only once, at Indianapolis.

At the next Grand Prix

in San Marino, his home race,

he mocked his stupid-ass mistake at

Indy with a special helmet design

and a victory celebration

to go with it.

Lorenzo crashed

out of four races in 2009.

There goes up to 100 points

in the championship.

You can't afford to crash, and

you can't afford to get hurt.

But both are inevitable.

Where do MotoGP riders

go in the winter?

Onto the dirt for fun,

and they say, for fitness.

Training in

motocross is very important.

For physical, for mental,

it's very important.

And motocross is very fun,

I like a lot motocross.

Valentino will not race

motocross anymore.

I have big, big pressure from

my father that say always,

"No, you don't go

with motocross.

"You're stupid.

It's too dangerous."

I think a lot of MotoGP riders

have injury with motocross.

Because we have

the mind to go fast,

but we don't have

the technique.

Motocross is very

dangerous for the jumps,

it's more dangerous

for the bumps.

When we crash with MotoGP

on the asphalt, you slide.

Sometimes in motocross in the

mud, you crash and you stop.

2010, the French Grand

Prix, third race of the season.

Valentino Rossi

is walking wounded.

He injured his shoulder

in a motocross crash in Italy

a few days after winning the

first MotoGP race in Qatar.

Valentino understands

with this accident

that motocross is not the

right way to drive the bike.

I have a small crack

to the bone, here,

but I think now

the bone is okay,

because it's more

than one month.

Jorge Lorenzo

finished second in Qatar,

riding with a broken thumb
