Not even European and British broadcasters have been able to secure this kind of access. These interviews are always brilliant!

Bruh, I felt like I was in that room with them. This was more like an interesting conversation between 3 people meeting each other than a boring interview. I kept smiling during the whole video. Great insight!

Rossi is a very rare real human being. Fame has not changed him, though it has made him wary, as is to be expected. His wife reflects this, a real woman and so do his friends - the same ones since childhood. Fabulous encounter.

I love how Valentino always fits a word of italian in every sentence of English and you can always understand haha

Vale is the real deal. Genuine, funny, a gentleman. The way he lights up is just infectious and you can tell he’s living a dream life. He had that look back in 1996 and still does today even without the motorcycle. I’ll sure miss him at the races but he and Franci will be wonderful parents to that little girl!

Rossi is a true Italian Gentleman and his Wife are an incredible package together!! God bless them both!

[solsol]

Very rare that he gives an insight into his private life

[salvatoreforte]

I’m an italian fan of Vale since i can’t remember
And i never saw an interview this intimate
Great to know these personal stuffs from the legend himself!
Great interview

Even if Marquez surpasses Rossi's title record, the impact Rossi had for MotoGP to the world is unparalleled so far. Not only he was a great rider, he was a culture icon and phenomena. No other MotoGP champion has gained more attention & popularity than VR46.

So nice to see Valentino happy in retirement, what a rare treat this was for him to allow us into his private life. Well done to Graham for all the great questions throughout these videos.

I have so much respect for people that speak English with such confidence when it's obviously a second or maybe third language. As an American I just couldn't see myself attempting another language. Once again, confidence.

[szabovlad]

This is so great, how they both talk about his new life. Can't wait to see the full episode!

[udxpierre]

People can say about this bloke what they want. With fans, interviews you name it, always solid and seems like he is himself.

[alananderson]

A true legend. His racing makes him famous and his positive attitude and generosity make him someone to admire and love.

[sayakgupta]

I love the fact that even after being so successful he is so down to earth and polite.
Love you Vale 😍😍

Rossi is a true gentleman. Lucky to have grown up watching him. I hope him & his family enjoy retirement in good health

[f_r_e_d]

Italian women hold a special place in my heart. I wish their family success

In 2017 I visited da Rossi ristorante in Tavullia, a few days before Mugello. It is a fantastic place! I remember the dish with the giant chicken leg, also the very slow service…because the guys were watching Monaco F-1 qualifying on the TV! Hey, that's OK, I enjoy the whole time.

I like how he interviewed.. Rossi and his girl feel so comfortable during interview..
