Valentino Rossi: A tour of my warehouse and VR46 HQ

Valentino Rossi offers a detailed tour of his VR46 headquarters in Tavullia Italy, including his deep arsenal of high-performance motorcycles and his ecommerce business. The nine-time MotoGP champ explains how his business has grown from housing just three bikes to the warehouse full of equipment he shows off during the tour, and how the ecommerce side grew from a line of eight products to selling 800 items today. Later, Rossi says he employs 100 people, more than any other business in Tavullia.

IN ITALIANO: Valentino Rossi offre un tour dettagliato della sua sede VR46 a Tavullia, incluso il suo arsenale di motociclette ad alte prestazioni e la sua attività di e-commerce.

It's so beautiful to see Vale enjoying his well deserved retirement....

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.

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!!!!

'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!

[MrSurfangler]

Never seen employees love their employer so much.
I guess its more of a family!

[martindrobnik]

the undeniable GOAT, so grateful for all these insights

[michaelkikon]

How can anybody dislike this guy …the champion and the living legend…thank you vale …

[malcpaul]

I'm going to miss VR46 on the track this year. He's kept me entertained since 1996.

[jeffcanyafixiy]

Hearing Valentino drop an f-bomb cracks me up, he just seems so genuine. Greatest of all time.

[KyleC]

Do what you love folks. This guy's like a kid in a candy store

[DD-swdd]

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

[higorassis]

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 👍🏾

[sadbuttrue]

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.

[klote]

Hes such a joy to listen to talk about racing, Rossi rides with pure heart and joy which is why he'll never lose that smile!

[GG-pryo]

How can you not love this guy??? So personable and

[castelnedd]

What a beautiful ride you took us on Vale. Enjoyed every minute ❤

[blackestskyline]

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

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.

[chanchaniceman]

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

[JeffWallick]

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?
