I won four titles with Valentino Rossi - this was his secret
"It was a great lesson for me..."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi’s long hours of studying and holding meetings was crucial to his🅺 success, insists the ally who was there to see his heyday.
In contrast to Rossi’s fun-lovi﷽ng exterior, he was cold and calculating inside the box when it was time to work.
This is the qual🧔ity that D♉avide Brivio remembers so well.
"I was at Y꧂amaha, he was at Honda and we convinced him to come with us,” Brivio told .
“He had a mentality only to 𓃲win, in fact, even a second place for ꦚhim was not good.
“So he put a very di𝓰fferent approach at Yamaha. He incorporated that mentality of always aspiring to win, aꦓlways aspiring to the maximum.
"What Valent💃ino was very good at was the professionalism he had in the🥃 box, on the motorcycle. He was very professional.
“Heಌ worked 🐻long hours, held meetings, studied, but then outside the box you could go to dinner, have fun.
“He was very professional but also very fun. ꧙So it was a great 🎐lesson for me too that you can do both.”
Rossi left Honda as the MotꦆoGP champion to join Yamaha in 2004, tak🥃ing somewhat of a chance with his career.
But The Doctor won further champi🧜onships in each of his first two seasons on the Yamaha, alongside team boss Brivio.
'Above all, we had fun'
“The first victor♚y or the first world championship,” Brivio remembered as highlights of their alliance.
“Some races like Barcelona 2009, Laguna Seca ꧒2008…”
But their was feistiness too, none more so than when Jorge ♛Lorenzo joined the team.
"Lorenzo'🤪s arrival at Yamaha was a special moment,” Brivio insisted.
🔜“Valentino was the man who changed the history of Yamaha and, obviously, he felt a bit like number one.
“When ✃there is a number one anꦛd another number one arrives…
ღ“It was st꧙ill a good experience . He managed it well."
R🎉ossi and Lorenzo notoriously built a wall to divide their garage and hide data from each other, as they waged war 🅘for the MotoGP title.
"Valentino ha൩s a special place in my heart,” Brivio 🌱said.
“We won foꦡur titlesꦗ, we did many things together but above all we had a lot of fun.”
