The tragic incident of Luis Salom reminds us that our sport, our passion, is dangerous. We know it but, in a way, we don't think about it.

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 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.

The work that we do during the winter is very important we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time.

Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.

I feel 100% a Yamaha rider in my heart. I had a long career and raced with several factory bikes, but the highlight of my career is undoubtedly with Yamaha.

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.

I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.
Valentino Rossi

Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.

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.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.
