I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.

I feel 100% a Yamaha rider in my heart. I had a long career and raced with several factory bikes, but the highlight of my career is undoubtedly with Yamaha.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

I'm very happy because I won a lot. I've won races and lived in a world that just gave me joy, so I remember it very positively.

Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.

I have designs I like applied to my helmet, motorcycle, riding suits, gloves,and boots. I have a designer friend of mine put the designs on them for me. I think a livery on the helmet is significant in expressing a rider's personality.
