"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 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."
"To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike."
"The speed is something dangerous but very exciting."
"Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion."
