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.

My approach to the races hasn't changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.

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

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.

I'm lucky because I don't feel too much pressure - it's only in the last hour before the race, and even then it's good, positive pressure.

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

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 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
