You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.

It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.

It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time.

I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.

Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.

Luck is one thing. It has always been there, it has always been a part of my success. It's a part of everyone's success. Without it, you can't be successful. But luck is something you have to stimulate, something you have to nurture through the choices you make...That's why things have always worked out for me. Things work out not just because I'm lucky, but because I plan ahead. I figure out what I want and I go for it. I've always spent a lot of time trying to surround myself with the right people, the kinds of teammates who could lead me to my goals.
