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.

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

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

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

The tragic incident of Luis Salom reminds us that our sport, our passion, is dangerous. We know it but, in a way, we don't think about it.

I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed

I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
