Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.

If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.

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 would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

You need to realise that, if you want to go on, you have to work hard. If you dwell too much on your past successes and say "well, I have won nine world titles and more than 100 races", you'd rather stay home. The sport, your rivals, the tyres, your motorcycle, everything changes so instead you need to work more to be stronger. If you don't, you're finished.

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