I Don't Like Being Famous

If I Test The Car For A Year I Can Be Quite Competitive The Next Season.

To Be A Great Motorbike Racer, The Most Important Thing Is Passion For The Bike.

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.

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'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.
