When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that's the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing.

The people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don't know.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.

When I look fast, I'm not smooth and I am going slowly. And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast.

So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.

That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.

Maybe I am not French, maybe I am from nowhere.
