I made a lot of good laps and was very consistent today. I felt very happy because I was very fast on my home track. But when I put on a new tyre unfortunately I slid off into the gravel trap. But I have to say the whole day was quite positive for us.
I think there is no defending a title. You don't go into a season with a points advantage over anyone. So I don't think it's ever a title defence. I think you've got a different number on your bike, if you choose so, but everyone starts at zero again.
I think I don't really have any expectations; I don't look at the season as a whole - I look at it race by race.
Even in motocross, youre struggling to see people pass each other anymore. There seems to be one line in motocross.
I have broken my collarbone twice in a year.
It will be difficult to return to racing this weekend after Marco's terrible accident in Sepang but I think it is the best thing we can do to honour him,” says World Champ Casey Stoner. We know we all play a risky game and, even if compared to the past the safety of our sport is much better, unfortunately these kind of events still occur. We will go out there this weekend and try to put on a good show for all the fans and especially in memory of Marco.
I'm very thoughtful, and when I make a decision I usually stick to it.
I think I dont really have any expectations; I dont look at the season as a whole - I look at it race by race.
I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending.
There are a lot of good guys that I race against, and thats what I enjoy the most.
People can be great competitors on Sunday and mates on Monday.
Your ambition outweighed your talent
Everyone seems quite good at stories and making them up.
I have been interested in V8s for a long time.
