"There are two theories as to why Rossi is entitled "The Doctor", one is Rossi adopted the nickname upon having earned a degree, which in Italy entitles one to use the title "Doctor". Another, as spoken by Graziano himself, "The Doctor because, I don't think there is a particular reason, but it's beautiful, and is important, The Doctor."
That's total crap, he called himself "The doctor" WAY before receiving that degree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.3.50.164 ( talk) 16:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
This is uncorrect, as Valentino has stated himself many times on interviews in italian TV, the moniker had originally started from the inner circle of his friends (the "Tribu' dei chihuaua" he has written on his helmet.) It originates from his uncanny ability to recognize and address bike setups problems (thus "Healing" it) since the very first time he sets foot on it.
Also, in italian you can use the same word you use to say you obtained a Ph.D at the university, to say you won the world championship (it applies to any other sport aswell) thus earning him the title the Doctor. He used the nickname "The Doctor" way before he earned his honorary Ph.D (2005). You can see "the doctor" stickers on the side of the windscreen back to when he was in Honda (2000-2003). So, while earning a degree has certainly given a further meaning to this nickname, it surely was not the originating reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.247.216.87 ( talk) 03:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
According to the reference he is the second best paid non-US sports person, assertion in text is incorrect.
This article really isn't written in an encyclopedic style. Describing him as 'lovable' and 'amazingly talented' doesn't seem particularly appropriate and large chunks of the bibliography seem to have been written by an extremely gushing fan.
The side box is confusing- it lists Rossi's 125/250/500/MotoGP stats together and seems to contradict the "Records" section. It should be updated with only his premier class (500/MotoGP) stats or the heading in the box should be changed (and I can't figure out how to change the heading).
01:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)01:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)01:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC) I think this is a great page about a legendary rider. I had the pleasure of meeting Valentino in 2003 - before the race where he had to make up the 10seconds. The rivalry with Gibernau's team was rampanent then too.
Gibernau's has never won since Rossi told him 'You'll never win another race in MotoGP' after the Quatar penalise in 2004 for Rossi preparing the start grid with rubber. Anyone got any more info on that?
Quote from the article: The first day saw Rossi spin out on the damp track into the gravel trap ending his day. On the second day, he posted the ninth fastest time of fifteen drivers, approximately one second behind Schumacher, who himself was third fastest. Rossi lapped faster than seasoned drivers Mark Webber, David Coulthard and Jarno Trulli [2]. On the final day of testing, Rossi was a half second behind Schumacher's best time [3]
I think it would be fair to add that Rossi was driving a car with a detuned V10 engine, while most others - including Schumacher - the V8-version.
Not only was it the detuned V10, but it also had superior aerodynamics in the spoiler. It was by far and away the best car on that track.
I have removed the reference to Rossi losing the 2006 MotoGP championship from the Ferrari section as the implied chronology is was incorrect. Hopefully someone can write a better section on the end of the 2006 season. Puppeteer
Quote from the article: At the end of the 2005 season, Valentino Rossi holds 79 Grand Prix victories which makes him the most successful rider of the Grand Prix series, surpassing legendary rider Giacomo Agostini. (not quite matched Agostini yet, soon...)
So did he beat Agostini's record or not? If not, I don't think this remark "(not quite matched Agostini yet, soon...)" should be in the article. Wiki should deal with facts not predictions.
It says on his page that he died today! OH MY GOD!
He is not dead. He was on tv today. Being interviewed live after a race.
I do not care what anyone else says, rossi is the best! although he did not win the championship this year he got himself from 14th position to 2nd!!! that proves just how great he is! nicky hayden only won because he was on repsol honda, the greatest bike in the tournament,and rossi unfortunately fell. if nicky was on camel yamaha imagine where he would finish!!! Since the move to moto gp rossi has made great achievements: 7th reining world champion, a doctors award, he even proved, by the move from honda to yamaha that its the rider that makes it work, not the bike! he really is the greatest!! All you nicky hayden fans better watch out, next season rossi will be back and better than ever finishing the championship in 1st place and where will nicky be? Yes nicky hayden is a good rider but no where near as good as rossi! cant wait for the 2007 season to start....MISSIN YOU ROSSI XXXXXXX Valesbigestfan 13:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)written by Alice Brown age 14––vales biggest fan

Totally agree. I commend the original writer or writers for their efforts but this article does need to be cleaned up by someone who is proficient in English and will clearly separate facts from speculation. I've tried change the very poor translation of "Viva La Figa", which was posted as "Hooray for Pussy" to the correct translation of "Long Live Pussy." However, I don't know if my change will stick. "Hooray", or the more common "Hurray", is used either ironically or by children, and is reserved for cheering on sports teams, not in reference to women's private parts.

I agree that this article needs a serious going over. I commend the original writer or writers for their efforts but this article ought to be cleaned up by someone who is proficient in English. I've tried to change the very poor translation of "Viva La Figa", which was posted as "Hooray for Pussy" to the correct translation of "Long Live Pussy." ie: Long LIV. "Hooray" is normally used either ironically or by children, and is reserved for cheering on sports teams, not in reference to women's private parts. The Italian word "Viva" literally translates into "long life" or "good life" and "Long live" is the accepted and established translation. thx, sychobike
excuse me but he has not yet won this year's title, as it says in the box. simmer down eh? 121.91.15.44 ( talk) 14:02, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
I note that Valentino Rossi holds a record for gaining most pole positions with 58...in Premier class! That's incorrect! Should be in fact 48. Afterall he certainly does hold a record for that in ALL classes in MotoGP! (125cc, 250cc and Premier class.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hunterbfh ( talk • contribs) 20:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
I think one record is false, the "Wins with Yamaha" isn't 47 but it has to be 46. Equal to the number on the bike (see the movie fastest)
I think some records are missing here.
one of that I could think of is: -Valentino has been a rookie of the year in every class he has taken part (namely: 125, 250, 500, MotoGP, but the last two only counts as one).
now the question before editing the article is: is he the only one or other riders have accomplished the same? anyone can help here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucio7 ( talk • contribs) 08:27, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Rider | Standing | Pre-1996 125cc starts |
---|---|---|
Aoki | 1st | 40; Champion 1995 |
Tokudome | 2nd | 27 |
Manako | 3rd | 16 |
Alzamora | 4th | 26 |
Martinez | 5th | 102; Champion 1988 |
Perugini | 6th | 28 |
Ueda | 7th | 65 |
Sakata | 8th | 66 |
Rossi | 9th | 0; Rookie |
Yes indeed, you are right, motoGP doesn't count as a replacement of 500CC.
But still, about 125CC, I remember that time ago I cheched all the 8 riders here on Wikipedia that finished in front of him and noticed that none of them was at his first season.
That, if the Rookie of the Year award was already in place, made him Rookie of the Year. So, in this case, he's been Rookie of the Year in all the classes. Even in case he's not the only one having been Rookie of the Year in all classes, I think him being Rookie of the Year in each class should deserve a place in the record section.
What do you think people?

Hi guys! Nothing about the accident that will cost him the chance of winning the 2010 title? 121.247.68.245 ( talk) 00:24, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi everyone. What the article tells at the moment are things which I really couldn't call superstitions. So, he watches the red lights in the 125cc start - I'd say thats an intelligent move for estimating when his own starting light will turn green. So, he has a special way of getting on and off his bike - That reminds me strongly of what I once read in a kyudo primer: You want to switch your mind into fully focused performance mode by a fixed ritual which symbolizes leaving the regular world behind for a while. This view also seems to me strongly reflected in Rossi's quotation. So, he does some strange stretching moves while going down pit lane - but the article itself says this is mainly for adjusting his leathers. Unless someone can add any rites of a more unscientific or magical nature, I would suggest replacing "Superstition" with "Odd Ritual" or something along those lines. -- BjKa ( talk) 21:54, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
It's getting rather long now, running to 80+kbs, which is more than recommended. I would suggest that we split out the statistics and records into another article, something like List of Valentino Rossi's results and records. I know this is quite unusual for a sportsperson, but Rossi's longevity and achievements are bigger than any other rider I can think of bar Ago.
Roger Federer has separate articles List of career achievements by Roger Federer and Roger Federer career statistics (indeed he has separate articles Roger Federer in 2003, Roger Federer in 2004 through to Roger Federer in 2010 though I'm not suggesting we go that far as yet).
Thoughts? Ged UK 12:44, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
Hmmm, as of today I don't think there are many people left with a 56Kb, so the smaller size to help the slow connections, I don't really know how much should it weigh in the decision. But maybe I have no idea about slow connections around the world. Personally, I think it's more convenient to have the record page in the main article. But as I say that's just me. The advantage about the split would be that it would probably give a boost to fill it with more information. I think some of the records are missing and when I will have enough time it would be entertaining for me looking for them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucio7 ( talk • contribs) 10:42, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree that this article needs a serious going over. I commend the original writer or writers for their efforts but this article ought to be cleaned up by someone who is proficient in English. I've tried to change the very poor translation of "Viva La Figa", which was posted as "Hooray for Pussy" to the correct translation of "Long Live Pussy." ie: Long LIV. "Hooray" is normally used either ironically or by children, and is reserved for cheering on sports teams, not in reference to women's private parts. The Italian word "Viva" literally translates into "long life" or "good life" and "Long live" is the accepted and established translation. thx, sychobike
excuse me but he has not yet won this year's title, as it says in the box. simmer down eh? 121.91.15.44 ( talk) 14:02, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
I note that Valentino Rossi holds a record for gaining most pole positions with 58...in Premier class! That's incorrect! Should be in fact 48. Afterall he certainly does hold a record for that in ALL classes in MotoGP! (125cc, 250cc and Premier class.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hunterbfh ( talk • contribs) 20:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
I think one record is false, the "Wins with Yamaha" isn't 47 but it has to be 46. Equal to the number on the bike (see the movie fastest)
I think some records are missing here.
one of that I could think of is: -Valentino has been a rookie of the year in every class he has taken part (namely: 125, 250, 500, MotoGP, but the last two only counts as one).
now the question before editing the article is: is he the only one or other riders have accomplished the same? anyone can help here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucio7 ( talk • contribs) 08:27, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Rider | Standing | Pre-1996 125cc starts |
---|---|---|
Aoki | 1st | 40; Champion 1995 |
Tokudome | 2nd | 27 |
Manako | 3rd | 16 |
Alzamora | 4th | 26 |
Martinez | 5th | 102; Champion 1988 |
Perugini | 6th | 28 |
Ueda | 7th | 65 |
Sakata | 8th | 66 |
Rossi | 9th | 0; Rookie |
Yes indeed, you are right, motoGP doesn't count as a replacement of 500CC.
But still, about 125CC, I remember that time ago I cheched all the 8 riders here on Wikipedia that finished in front of him and noticed that none of them was at his first season.
That, if the Rookie of the Year award was already in place, made him Rookie of the Year. So, in this case, he's been Rookie of the Year in all the classes. Even in case he's not the only one having been Rookie of the Year in all classes, I think him being Rookie of the Year in each class should deserve a place in the record section.
What do you think people?

Hi guys! Nothing about the accident that will cost him the chance of winning the 2010 title? 121.247.68.245 ( talk) 00:24, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi everyone. What the article tells at the moment are things which I really couldn't call superstitions. So, he watches the red lights in the 125cc start - I'd say thats an intelligent move for estimating when his own starting light will turn green. So, he has a special way of getting on and off his bike - That reminds me strongly of what I once read in a kyudo primer: You want to switch your mind into fully focused performance mode by a fixed ritual which symbolizes leaving the regular world behind for a while. This view also seems to me strongly reflected in Rossi's quotation. So, he does some strange stretching moves while going down pit lane - but the article itself says this is mainly for adjusting his leathers. Unless someone can add any rites of a more unscientific or magical nature, I would suggest replacing "Superstition" with "Odd Ritual" or something along those lines. -- BjKa ( talk) 21:54, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
It's getting rather long now, running to 80+kbs, which is more than recommended. I would suggest that we split out the statistics and records into another article, something like List of Valentino Rossi's results and records. I know this is quite unusual for a sportsperson, but Rossi's longevity and achievements are bigger than any other rider I can think of bar Ago.
Roger Federer has separate articles List of career achievements by Roger Federer and Roger Federer career statistics (indeed he has separate articles Roger Federer in 2003, Roger Federer in 2004 through to Roger Federer in 2010 though I'm not suggesting we go that far as yet).
Thoughts? Ged UK 12:44, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
Hmmm, as of today I don't think there are many people left with a 56Kb, so the smaller size to help the slow connections, I don't really know how much should it weigh in the decision. But maybe I have no idea about slow connections around the world. Personally, I think it's more convenient to have the record page in the main article. But as I say that's just me. The advantage about the split would be that it would probably give a boost to fill it with more information. I think some of the records are missing and when I will have enough time it would be entertaining for me looking for them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucio7 ( talk • contribs) 10:42, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

There is information that is not cited in the 2016 portion of the article so I added a little bit of information to add to the very beginning of the paragraph. I plan to look for the information that is not cited and find a source for it and also add a photograph. §
