You try to do a technical feature: in front of me I had a strong rider who brakes hard and it's difficult to pass.

I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed

The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

I have so much respect for my opponents; many of them watched the races as little children and were supporting me!
