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.

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 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 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.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

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

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

I'm really happy, and beating Marc [Marquez] at the very last chicane gives me an extra boost.

Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

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

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

The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true.

I have so much respect for my opponents many of them watched the races as little children and were supporting me!

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

The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

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.
