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

However I am looking forward to the two new Grands Prixs both Shanghai and Laguna Seca are fantastic tracks and it will be good to race at them.

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components

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.

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.

Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.
