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.

I'm very happy because I won a lot. I've won races and lived in a world that just gave me joy, so I remember it very positively.
Valentino Rossi

Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.

I have designs I like applied to my helmet, motorcycle, riding suits, gloves,and boots. I have a designer friend of mine put the designs on them for me. I think a livery on the helmet is significant in expressing a rider's personality.

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 try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

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.

In 2009, I didn't like that Yamaha signed such a young and competitive teammate [Jorge Lorenzo]. But now everything is different. We are more mature. Everyone knows his role and position. Things are clear.

I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.

I am able to ride the bike and think clearly about strategy and tyres. I also have positive thinking. I am very constructively critical.

It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on
