Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: 'Why am I racing?' I race because I like it, because I'm really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I'm still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence.

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.

My approach to the races hasn't changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.

I was lucky. My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.

You need a combination of many things to get good results. Experience is one of these, and it can be very useful at the right moment. I don't know if it helps to go faster, but for sure it's an important element that has helped me a lot. Being experienced helps you to make fewer mistakes when you are on track. This is the positive side for being around for so many years!

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

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