The Tragic Incident Of Luis

I Have Always Challenged Myself And It's Also Important To Learn From The Rivals. Every Rider Has His Own Style, And You Have To Count On Some Elements That Cannot Be Changed. On The Contrary, The Bike Or The Tires Can Change And It's Important To Adapt Yourself. It's Up To The Rider To Understand What He Can Change And How Much He Can Adapt.

I Have So Much Respect For My Opponents; Many Of Them Watched The Races As Little Children And Were Supporting Me!

Riding A Race Bike Is An Art - A Thing That You Do Because You Feel Something Inside.

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.

In My Opinion We Are At The Limit Now, And 17 Races Is Really Too Much. With All The Testing That We Do Now, It Means We're Always On The Bike And It's Quite Difficult.
