I Am Focused On Racing.

Barcelona Is A Special Track. I Have Always Loved The Layout Of The Circuit, But Also The Atmosphere And The Fans Are Special. It Has Always Been Good Fun.

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.

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.

You Try To Do A Technical Feature: In Front Of Me I Had A Strong Rider Who Brakes Hard And It's Difficult To Pass.

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.
