Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.

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.

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.

We kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.

I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.

I am completely focused on being strong, riding fast, and enjoying myself. With the new generation of riders, only the chronometer counts. I need to be faster than them on track.
