"Valentino
was probably on anyone's list...anyone who wanted a good rider had
to look at the guys who were performing, and obviously Rossi was
performing..."
~Burgess,
on Valentino Rossi's performance
"As (Rossi)
got bigger and bigger, you could see that he'd be all right on a
500..."
~Burgess,
on Valentino Rossi
"...this
situation with Valentino got stronger and stronger, and
more and more interesting. It was the opportunity to work with a
good rider, a good machine and in a separate team."
~Burgess,
on Valentino Rossi
"The
Donington race was brilliant and Valentino's ride from 16th
on the first lap to finish second in the German GP was
sensational..."
~Burgess,
on Valentino's performance at the Donington race 2000
"...but
that's the difference between Valentino and the rest of
them. He showed it in the 125 and 250. Once he finds the
opposition's level, he goes right through and sets another
standard...If you look a little bit to his performances, they're
not dissimilar to his first years in both the 250 and before that
the 125. The pattern is fairly well set."
~Burgess,
on Valentino Rossi
"I
would say Valentino's communication - from the very outset
when I started working with him in December (1999) was very good.
I sort of impressed on him that it was important that we talk a
lot...I realized I didn't have to do that, because he does talk a
lot about the bike and what he feels..."
~Burgess,
on Valentino Rossi's good communication
"Valentino
is 21, and that's something we have to keep reminding ourselves.
He enjoys his friends around him and that's something new to us as
a team, but because we're a small separate group we can handle
that."
~Burgess,
on Valentino Rossi
"I
don't think Valentino is super different (from Doohan). He
certainly has a very relaxed composure..."
~Burgess,
on the difference between Valentino and Mick (Doohan)
