Those handshakes speaks louder than words. All Hail the King.

I almost cried watching this. I had tears when he passed 21 riders and was riding that lonely 4th position knowing he would lose his championship but he never gave up, rode like a champion and proved a rider needs heart to be a champion not speed and the no.of championship points. Thanks Valentino! #forever46! #forzavale!

Nobody has ever done what this man, this legend, has done for this sport. Valentino Rossi is the one. There are things in the sport that have even more value than a championship, and you can see this when people are screaming the name of the one who have lost, riders are shacking the hand and showing respect to the one who have lost. Because the one who have lost in this case is the one who won the love, who won the honor, who won the respect... the one who’s name means MotoGP. Valentino Rossi 💛

The first thing he did after crossing the line:Waving to his fans.Only one of the things that make him so special:Even at the point of utter defeat, he cares for his fans.What a wonderfull man he is and what a true champion.The living Legend Valentino Rossi.

The day you became more than a champion. Much respect for you

Even if you don't win another championship in the future - you will always be the champion in our hearts! The greatest motorcycle racer ever. Thanks Vale. #Forever46

Rossi is a real champion

The moment when Hayden pulled up alongside Rossi at 3:08 got so much more meaningful a few years later :( After Hayden's death, Rossi recaptured this moment: "But the best memory I have of him is when he came to shake my hand after the unfortunate race in Valencia in 2015, on the lap of honour. For him it was a goodbye to MotoGP™, and I had just lost the World Championship. His look of support from inside his helmet is one of the few positive memories I have from that day. Forza Nicky, we're all with you."

I think those handshakes were beyond showing respect and made Rossi to know they are with him, but the riders felt this race was something special. They had the chance to experience as a legend ride as he gives all what he got and made him the best rider ever and they took a part in it. If we recall those glory memories when The Doctor fought agains those magnificent rider back in the day and those battles what he won were all relived in Valencia. This race was more than a battle for a title. This race was a statement and proof, Valentino Rossi is the the rider who personalize everything what motorcycle race about and what a rider should be to reach the highest level in racing. And if we watch this race, without any preconceptions and not to make any theory about conspiracies, makes it all clear. To compete as Rossi did in his age after 16 years of top class racing is amazing. To judge him negatively or not respect his acheivements is not else but jealousy by people who doesn't feel themself wise, confident and persistant enough to be as successful as Valentino. It is nothing about how good rider Jorge Lorenzo is. Jorge got everything to be champion as he proved it already with 5 titles. But without any sarcasm. The other champions on the grid can't be compared to Valentino Rossi yet. Not because he won 9 chamionship, not because he has more than 100 trophies, but because how he did it. He had good days when wins came easy like it did for any great young rider. He had bad days, when everything went wrong. He was really loved and hated over more than a decade. Then he stood up again and won the greatest title again. He defeated uncertainty what built up by people who tought Rossi is not good enough to be champion again. I hope he feel the same about it as I do and this race gave him some extra strenght to fight for his crown next year again, as he does since 1996. I respect Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Marquez too. I do not want them to fail or wish their title would be Rossi's. But what I saw in Valencia, even I never lost my hope in Valentino, was mesmerizing. To see someone fight until the last second even everybody in the world knows he can't win without a miracle and he does not give up whatever happens is unbelieveable. Maybe in 10-15 years time we think about Marc or Jorge in the same way. But that's insanely far away.

Rossi is for Italy what Senna was for Brazil! The Legend.

Vale is Motogp...Motogp is Vale. Period.

Still I cry every time I watch this lap, he deserved the title, I'm a Valentino's fan since 1996 and this was the biggest disaster for the Motogp history

AMAZING how Lin Jarvis, the Yamaha Motor Racing principal was waiting for Rossi in his pit instead of waiting for Lorenzo outside. LOL!!!

This video makes it very apparent that Rossi was the man everyone was going for that day. Pedrosa, Crutchlow and Hayden (especially) all giving him congrats like they were on the same team, and the entire paddock cheering him on!

I cried when watching this video, In my opinion, Rossi is the winner. Lorenzo have won the title, but Rossi was the champions. The real champions.

championship may be Lorenzo's, but hearts around the world are all still with Rossi.

The Real World Champion MotoGP 2015 is VALENTINO ROSSI 46 !

0:49 Pol Espargaro 1:09 Andrea Dovizioso 1:23 Dani Pedrosa 1:30 Cal Crutchlow 1:36 Danilo Petrucci 2:08 Aleix Espargaro 2:14 Alvaro Bautista 2:21 Stefan Bradl 2:24 Yonny Hernandez 2:52 Scott Redding 3:02 Nicky Hayden 3:16 Loris Baz 3:24 Toni Elias 3:30 Jack Miller 4:57 Hector Barbera

I came back here after seeing Rossi's back in Valencia witnessing his student Pecco wins the title. It still gives me goosebump.

At the 2015 closing station, I saw Lorenzo win the world championship at his home stadium in Spain, but the cheers in the entire stands were not for Lorenzo, but for Rossi! The Spanish audience cheered for the Italian Rossi, but Lorenzo won the award. The stage was booed, and almost all the drivers came to greet Rossi when they were going back around the field after the game. When Rossi returned to the PIT, it was obvious in the video that all the staff of other factory teams also came out to say hello to Rossi. Rossi applauded and cheered. In my heart, just like others, the 2015 world champion is Rossi.

The amount of riders congratulating Rossi says it all, both for him as a person and for the sport. They knew what was going on and what happened, just like we did. Look how many riders congratulated Lorenzo - 1. Espagaro, that was it. People that say Rossi has lost respect are deluded. He's gained respect, from both riders and fans. Lorenzo and more so Marquez have lost any respect they had, just a handful of fans remain.

This video says a lot. The Legend! Valentino Rossi 46!

watched this again in 2020, i'm still crying everytime i watch this video..how every rider saluted him, how literaly everyone in the paddock cheered on him. Vale was robbed in 2015, he's the people champion.

Basta guardare come lo applaudono e lo rispettino tutti i PILOTI e tutti i TEAM che lo aspettano ai box, per farvi capire chi è il Re del motociclismo. I premi si possono vincere il rispetto lo si conquista, e per alcuni è più importante.... ONORE A TE VALE!!!!!!!

pedrosa's a good guy too

One day history will remember a great champion and a great man... The best motorcycle rider that came to Earth...and his name is Valentino Rossi. No matter if Marquez will win 15 titles... He will never be remembered as the best

gli ultimi 6,35 minuti di un anno meraviglioso... un video che resterà per sempre a testimoniare di quell'uomo e campione al quale honda e dorna negarono la possibilità di vincere il decimo mondiale a 36 anni compiuti.... grazie lo stesso Vale, il decimo te lo riconosciamo noi tifosi di moto come riconosciamo l'uomo e il campione senza limiti o nazionalità e l'esempio per i prossimi sportivi di qualsiasi genere.

Here I come again, to remember how amazing Rossi is.

Funny how he gets a handshake or a thumbs up from pretty much every rider and Lorenzo only gets one, from a fellow Spaniard.

Just one more proof that the whole paddock and the riders knew who the real champion is. I mean , all the riders were congratulating him (okay not all..Marquez)..and then the welcoming. Lorenzo can only dream about it. It will never happen.

THE MASTER..THE DOCTOR...THE LEGEND VALENTINO ROSSI...

10 times world champion

Da tifoso di Vale voglio dire grazie a: Pol Espargaro, Dovizioso, Pedrosa, Crutchlow, Petrucci, Alexis Espargaro, Bautista, Bradl, Hernandez, Redding, Hayden, Baz e Miller per aver fatto i complimenti a Vale a fine gara e anche a tutti i membri dei team che si sono complimentati con Vale in pit lane. Grazie a tutti. Il prossimo anno ci riproveremo.

after Pedrosa handshake Rossi... ALL HAIL PEDROSA! THE MIGHTY MAN WHOS NOT JOIN THE DARK SIDE (Marquez and Lorenzo)

2015 Valentino Rossi people's champ.

These images will remain forever in the History of Motorcycling and Motorsport. And They'll forever be the reason why being the Greatest Of All Time isn't a "numbers" issue. In the speech for receiving his career Academy Awards, the Legendary Cary Grant said "Probably no greater honor can come to any man than the respect of his colleagues." . I Think that it's enough, Vale is and will forever be the Greatest Motorcycling Rider Of All Time, a MASTER and a LEGEND in the Same League of Jordan, Senna, Maradona, Phelps, Thorpe, Lewis, Alì, Bolt. And Marquez will forever be a great rider, but a very little man.

I like how he said goodbye to Nicky Hayden!

So Jorge Lorenzo, aged 28, at the peak of his powers, with the general consensus being that he had more speed than anyone else this season, did not lead the championship until the chequered flag fell for the final time and took it by a margin of just 5 points. His opponent, 8 years his senior, who has seen a few generations of racers come and go during his stay in the premier class, finished ahead of him in 2014, and almost got the title this year, despite his supposed lack of 'outright pace' as so many asserted. The more I reflect on this season, the more I realize what a titanic effort it was for Valentino to do this at the grand old age of 36, this being a sport which chews up and spits out the very best in their early 30s. The 10th title, sadly, wasn't meant to be (we can list the reasons why) but what has been was pretty fricking legendary! #ForzaVale

Real 2015 champion. No more words.

Vale ci mancherai nn sarà più bello giradare le gare senza te mi ritiro anche io da tifoso e bikers✌

This is the true Hero, Legend & Icon of MotoGP and the people's Champion. Forza Vale!!! VR46 2016.

Everybody loves Rossi....... except Maequez and Lorenzo of course.

I Never Forget it.

5 years ago! I'm still without word! How is possible that no one did something versus Marquez? No decision at all. Valentino you'll always be the winner, the last 3 races completely decided by Marquez. Never happened before in Motorsports

*Beatiful lap of Rossi !*

Valentino Rossí is REAL and PEOPLE CHAMPION

Layaknya film Cars . Yang terbaik,juara tidak harus memiliki gelar. Kamu juara di hati semua orang. Vale 💛

Here again after Valentino Rossi's retirement in 2021. #GrazieVale.

Dang, that made me sad. It was great seeing all the respect from everyone! Riders, workers and fans on the track, all the other teams' pit crews. MotoGP has made such a giant mistake. Vale is greater than the sport itself.

Rossi lost this Championship but he became more than a Legend on that day ... probably more than if he won

I wonder how many handshakes and greetings Marquez got....

rossi is legend

I like how Cal Crutchlow came at Rossi. You van see the disapointment in his eyes. #Vale46

MotoGp 2015 "real" world champion.

3:13 I'm from 2021 n I cried bcs of this.

i always came here everytime when i miss this moment FORZA 46 LEGEND

That's how a lap of honour from the living legend of MotoGP looks like...

if a fourth place is celebrated more than winning a championship you know ho has won all the hearts of motorsport! #46

9+1 Simply the GOAT. No one will be like him.

There is no greater champion in the history of MotoGP than Valentino Rossi and in this moment of sorrow there where fellow racers giving him more hand shakes than what they did to Lorenzo What does that say All hail the great Valentino Rossi Grazie Vale forever the greatest 🏍🇮🇹🏍🇮🇹🏍🇮🇹🏍🇮🇹🏍🇮🇹🏍🇮🇹🏍🇮🇹🏍

this is the best lap

Still have chills watching this. His love for the fans and the crowd and their love for him.. the respect and handshakes from every single driver (well except two)..the people that waited outside and inside Vales pit.. How many mixed emotions he must have felt but he was still smiling, waving to people, greeting everyone and held himself like a true champ and the legend that he is..

This is the real Champion.

Senza parole un mito che resterà sempre anche se non vincerà mai il decimo mondiale non conta perché è come se l'avesse vinto per tutto quello che ha fatto resterà sempre un mito per tutti, dovrebbe sparire dalla faccia di questa terra chi ti critica. Semplicemente unico!!

The best there has ever been.

The greatest rider ever! After two difficult years in Ducati he was able to rise again at the age of 36. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Hope next season he kicks everybody's a**

Salute the Master, salute the Doctor, salute Valentino Rossi!

Holy shit. EVERYONE on track is congratulating Rossi. Everyone respects and love Valentino. True legend of the sport

rossi is real champion .lorenzo what is?

you are the wolrd chapion..!! FORZA VALEEEEEEEEE

Thank you Rossi for entertaining our childhood (1997- 2009) :') (Sry bad English)

"If you do not compete for a gap that exists,you are no longer a racing driver"AYRTON SENNA. Marquez you are not longer a racingdriver!

I don't know who decided that the championship must end like this, but I think it has gone off the other way around. They made him greater than ever. Go Valentino!

Tears fill my eyes and i just can't help it.....

I Still watch in 2019..

12 11 21 , watch this video I remember this race and how VR become headline in many newspaper "The people champion"

Damn it.. this guy is such a legend! Everyone should be thanking to him because he is the one who got attention from the people all over the world and because of him MotoGP and all the teams got sponsors. Because of him MotoGP is on a such a high level of interest all over the world! Respect Vale! You`re a true inspiration for all the riders around the world!

Love that sound, riding slowly like this. Awesome footage, my alltime favourite rider.

This is what a man respected and loved by everyone looks like. Respect is earned. Thaks for the joy!

Sono passati ormai 5anni...mi fa' ancora malissimo vedere questo video 😥

FFS i almost shed a tear watching that.All hail the GOAT.

Thanks Valentino, for everything.

People from other paddocks waving and cheering him what an amazing career

this maybe, ideally, the situation that will happen at the end of 2021 season. ThankYou Legend!

I tear all the lap watched the people's champion, the legend fight for honor

all dislikes must be from Lorenzo

You can really see how much respect the other teams' mechanic has for Vale. They knew he's the real champion.

THANKYOU LEGEND, THANKYOU VALE! #THANKYOUVALE

3:00 the first time i saw this i always believe this is a very emotional moment for this 2 legend. Two years later, Rossi using this picture on his Instagram as tribute to Nicky. R.I.P Nicky Hayden

The real champion for me and for a lot people !

My heart beat faster and I hold my breath everytime Rossi overtakes the other rider. When he reach 4th and the gap become wider and wider...it's very sad and I almost cried to see him finish 4th and lost the title. But it doesn't matter because you win our hearts, people's heart, for us you are the real champion, the real hero. Keep fighting Rossi, we have faith in you. #forzaVale #forever46

Thank you Vale ❤️

The best.. master valentino rossi.. Go go go..!!

this is how the legend finish a season without champion title but he still gets respect! that knowing he would lose but he still continue the race. what a legend!

Watching this after a year still left a bitter taste in my mouth. I did not lose hope during his ducati years and definitely not gonna lose it now. I am with him until he decided to hang his leathers for good. Forza Vale!

My legend ♥️

I watch this when I want to look at a gentleman handling defeat. What a master.
