You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.

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.

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 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.

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.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

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.

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.

We kept on racing, doing something that Luis [Salom] loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, life goes on.
