Valentino Rossi: A tour of my warehouse and VR46 HQ
Ойын-сауық
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. Il nove volte campione della MotoGP spiega come la sua attività sia cresciuta dall’avere sole tre moto al possedere un magazzino pieno di attrezzature - che mostra durante il tour -, e come l’e-commerce sia passato da una linea di otto prodotti all’attuale vendita di 800 articoli. In seguito Rossi afferma di avere 100 dipendenti, più di qualsiasi altra azienda a Tavullia.

'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!

Who wouldn’t. His pay would be larger than anything he’s ever earned & he gets to cook for the big boss personally. Wouldn’t you be honored, too?
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.

@@TheDatpussy Yeah, but so does Lando too i think. But they aren't like managing. Alonso is the same age as Rossi and has a similar length of career. But my point is that valentino's riders are already in all categories of motoGP. Getting to motoGP might be easier than f1. but he is still making a really big impact. Just imagine how proud he'd be when one of his guys wins the championship. He passed that mantle on, and now has a team too to send more talent through.

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

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 👍🏾
For every Valentino's fans, this place feels like heaven 🤤
I went on my first date to the Gp of Assen with my now ex-wife. Still good memories. Of 46. Not the ex
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.
How can you not love this guy??? So personable and honest......
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

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.
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!
What a beautiful ride you took us on Vale. Enjoyed every minute ❤
Not only the GOAT but I see an entrepreneur as well. Forza Vale Eterno!!!!!
Sportivamente lo amo e l'ho sempre seguito, ma quando parla inglese, raggiunge proprio l'apice!! Sei stato e sarai sempre un grande!! W Vale!!!
The best part was the old italian chef, how he was able to express himself about Valentino. Amazing the #VR46 headquarters! 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
Champ doing so much for his community and for the young generation what a great guy.
i love his energy. down to earth, yet achieved so much.. Just amazing.
4:32 Ayrton Senna! The GREATEST F1 pilot of all times! Respect!
VR is the GOAT of MOTO GP Thank you Graham for the look behind the curtain. Would love a more in depth look at the lunchroom in his warehouse.
started watching motogp because of him and only to see him on track. Beautiful memories 💛💚
I appreciate even that on his last season he was not competitive enough because he did not spare his time only for motogp but for his company also which is really good and he showed that become an athlete not only buy something luxury but build a company that he has passion into it
Great human, great moto-x track at home, legend of a rider. 👍🏻🏴
Respected Rossi generation will remember you. Legends born in centuries. You are Phd in your job... No words to appreciate you. You made the history... We love you.... One of Pakistani fan....
Great idea Graham. Baffles me after all these years I've never seen VR on ESPN or the like.
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?

@@Jimmie92 Exactly. The only reason why some countries like England have F1 even competing with motogp is because sky sports news refuses to cover anything on Motogp. Probably because no English rider has gotten close to the top for at least 4 decades and they're bitter about it. Even still Rossi as well as motorcycle racing itself is still more popular than F1.
The people's champion, always! Grazie Vale!
He is Not only a legend or best motorbike rider but also he is also a good human , Listen what the one of the employee of his oldmen saying about him , is very important & precious ..
wow...i kind of suprise rossi got that all in his warehouse,hes a big legend in gp so humble..good luck to you rossi in retirement,well hes got a good business now for that VR46 thats a big brand name now
" for a rider ..! This's a dream " Oh hell yea ; Definitely bro and you're living the dream 🔥 Good for you bro 🖤
What a great guy! His energy is amazing!
Doctor on the track and a doctor of business. Legend .
His English comprehension is interesting- he clarifies things so simply.
Amazing rider and person. One of a kind!
Privileged to share a slice of time with this bloke. What a champion.
The best rider ever and an amazing person outside the tracks! FORZA VALE!!
I haven’t watched motogp since Vale retired. Miss the good old days. Love this video.
Introducing the uninitiated to Vale is something that brings me so much joy. . They instantly get it. Everyone instantly falls in love with the man.
What a human/legend He is really one of the greatest rider/person that i ever have seen. I follow vale46 from day 1 in the 125cc My next tattoo wil be one of vale no doubt!! Grazi vale 💯☝❤ #thebest #46
I got a photo with Rossi in 2008 at the Yamaha sales convention. I was the only one to get a photograph with him. So lucky and will always have that picture
He was great since he was a junior racer. One of the few people in the world I would trade places with.
Damn this guy is really wholesome and honest. How does people hate him I don't know.

Rossi legenda MotoGP. The best of the best
Forza ITALIA , e Forza VALENTINO 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Some people transcend their sport and become legends after they retire. In Vales case he achieved that status whilst still competing in it. There are comments on here saying he hasn’t won championships for many years (which is true) and yet every MotoGP was a home race for him no matter where he competed right up until he retired. I can’t think of anyone who comes close to VR in bringing so many fans into a sport and leaving such a vacuum once they leave it.
A Legend of the track!
So good to see and hear vale after long time ❤
Rossi home..like motorcycke garage...so many motorcycle.... #Exciting_Home.. 👍👍
Valentino... a legend always 👌❤
No on gives back to his community like Vale! Grazie Vale!!!!
Thank you, Vale. We will always miss you!!
His employees actually look so happy. Testament to just how good of a dude this guy really is. And now that I think about, he might be the ONLY person from motor sports as a whole who started a driving school (including f1 and everything). In another life I would’ve loved to go there
