Riding A Race Bike Is An Art

In 2009, I Didn't Like That Yamaha Signed Such A Young And Competitive Teammate [jorge Lorenzo]. But Now Everything Is Different. We Are More Mature. Everyone Knows His Role And Position. Things Are Clear.

Nowadays, We Have To Deal With So Many More Factors That Weren't There In The Past. It's Not Enough To Be A Good Rider, If You Want To Finish At The Front. The Riders Have Become Incredible Athletes. In The Past, You Could Manage The Race And Fight Only On The Last Laps. Now You Need To Train Hard. You Cannot Allow Yourself To Go On Track Without Being At 100 Percent.

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.

Friendship Is Very Important To Me. With Some Friends, We've Known Each Other Since We Were Kids And It's A Very Strong Relationship. They Always Tell Me What They Think Even When I Am Wrong. It's Great To Share With Them The Best Moments. I Also Have Many Friends In The Team, And I Like To Share My Passion With Them.

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.
