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.

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

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.

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.

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

Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.
