She was excited, ... She was just saying her dad was coming home. There wasn't much I could say to her because I know she was on cloud nine.

That's something I got to go home and call my dad and tell him about. He'll probably be more excited about it than I am.

I like Brno, Motegi, Sepang, Qatar... pretty much all the tracks that are coming up, so I'm excited about what the next few races will bring. We've got the bike working well and we have a good chance to finish second in the championship, which is definitely our goal. Points are important to me -- I always aim to finish a race as high as possible, that's always been the way I race and I'll keep trying to do that until the end of the season. At the same time it would be great to win a race...so I'm going to try for both!

Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.

We know Luke's excited about the prospect of playing with the Dragons, and it's really just a matter of coming to an agreement that's acceptable to both parties.

With the year off, I think most guys were excited to get going, but coming to Ottawa, a new place, made me even more excited.
