Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

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

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.

My normal life is like being on holiday.
