168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi’s long hours of studying and holding meet♔ings was cruci♛al to his success, insists the ally who was there to see his heyday.

In contrast to Rossi’s fun-loving exterior, he was cold and calculating🐎 inside the box when it was time to work.

This is ♓the quality that Davide Brivio remembers so well.

"I was at Yamah✅a, he was at Honda and we convincedꩲ him to come with us,” Brivio told .

“He had a mentality only to win, in fact, even a🅘 second place for him was nꦐot good.

“So he put a very different approach at Yamaha. He incorporated that mentality of always aspiring to win, always aspiring t𝐆o the maximum.

"Wh♔a🅰t Valentino was very good at was the professionalism he had in the box, on the motorcycle. He was very professional.

“He worked long hours, held meetings, studied, but then o🍸utside the box you coul𓃲d go to dinner, have fun.

“He was very professiꦇonal but also very fun. So it was a gre👍at lesson for me too that you can do both.”

Rossi left Honda as the MotoGP champion to join Yaܫmaha in 2004, taking somewhat of a chance with his career.

But The Doctor won further championships in each of his first two seasons on the Yamaha, alongside team boss😼 Brivio.

'Above all, we had fun'

“The first victory or the first worl🅠d championship,” Brivio remembered a🔯s highlights of their alliance.

“Some races like 🔯Barcelona 2009🍃, Laguna Seca 2008…”

But their waﷺs feistiness too, none more so than when Jorge Lorenzo joined the team.

"Lorenzo's arrival at Yamaha wa🏅s a special mome🍌nt,” Brivio insisted.

“Valentino was the 🐻man who changed the history of Yamaha and, obviously, he felt a bit like number one.

“When there is a꧙ number o⭕ne and another number one arrives…

“It was still a good 🎃experience . He managed it we🌞ll."

Rossi and Lorenzo notoriously built a wall to divide their garage and hide data from each other, as they waged war for the M🉐otoGP title.

"Va🐽lentino has a special place in my heart,” Brivio said.

“We won four titles, we did many things together but൩ above all we had a lot of fun.”
