It Is Dangerous And Unbelievably Fast And

I'm Lucky Because I Don't Feel Too Much Pressure - It's Only In The Last Hour Before The Race, And Even Then It's Good, Positive Pressure.

Nowadays, We Have To Deal With So Many More Factors That Weren't There In The Past. It's Not Enough To Be A Good Rider, If You Want To Finish At The Front. The Riders Have Become Incredible Athletes. In The Past, You Could Manage The Race And Fight Only On The Last Laps. Now You Need To Train Hard. You Cannot Allow Yourself To Go On Track Without Being At 100 Percent.

I'm Really Happy, And Beating Marc [marquez] At The Very Last Chicane Gives Me An Extra Boost.

Motivation Is The Key. More Than Training, More Than Experience Or Age, Motivation Counts. You Have To Ask Yourself: 'why Am I Racing?' I Race Because I Like It, Because I'm Really Enjoying It. I Like To Set Up My Bike And Ride It On Track. After 20 Years In The Gps I'm Still Highly Motivated. Everything Else Is A Consequence.

I Was Lucky. My Father Raced Bikes. He Gave Me The Passion Very Early. I Had My First Bike When I Was Three Or Four Years Old.
