In 2002 The Yamaha Was At More Or Less The Same Level As The Honda, Better In Some Ways, Worse In Others. But In The Winter Of Last Year Between 2002 And 2003, Honda Made A Big Step Forward And It Seemed As If Yamaha Couldn't Quite Match That Improvement.

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.

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 Am Still Here Because I Like To Prove Myself. I Still Like To Ride The Bike On Track And Enjoy The Races. I Still Have Good Reasons To Be In Racing After So Many Years.

Maybe If Graziano Make Another Work Or Another Sport I Wouldn't Have Had This Passion To Be A Rider.
