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.

The bike gives me a good feeling. Also the engine is very smooth in acceleration so I'm happy. And it's just the first day, we have another two days and we hope to do good work.

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

My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.

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 would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
