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

In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we're always on the bike and it's quite difficult.

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.

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

I'm really happy, and beating Marc [Marquez] at the very last chicane gives me an extra boost.

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.

I have so much respect for my opponents; many of them watched the races as little children and were supporting me!
