I've enjoyed winning races in both 500cc and MotoGP and enjoyed leading the world championship and contesting it right up until the end.
In Malaysia where the front end pushes so much, extra engine braking is really going to help you.
It's quite easy to start Trials riding. You just need a bike and you're set.
So while I was studying, I rode my Trials bike, then I moved to roadracing.
What the other teams do is something that I can never control, so I just keep focussed on my direction.
With roadracing, it takes a lot more time and money.
We've done all the work that HRC wanted on the twin and the project has been completed. We were consistently up there with the top guys and that is what HRC wanted to prove.
