As usual when Valentino Rossi wins a World Championship, Italian TV dedicates a couple of shows to Rossi’s amazing career. Last night on Terra! (earth) they did an hour long special from the 2009 EICMA show and had Mediasetsports Giorgio Terruzzi, interviewing the 9 times World Champion.
So here’s part of the inverview that we’ve translated for you:
GT: You’re a Vecchia Gallina what grade would you give yourself?
VR: This year or in general?
GT: This year… now.
VR: I was much better last year, if last year it was a 9 or maybe last year 9 1/2, this year it’s 8 1/2.
GT: Why? What’s the difference this year?
VR: Last year I was more humble and made less mistakes.
