Testing the day after a race is always a bit difficult, and when you have won the race it is even harder to feel motivated! However we know that we have to keep improving, because the championship is not over yet and anything could happen! |
That was one of the hardest races of the season, |
That was the best battle of the year! |
The advantage we have in the championship means that I can ride at each of the remaining six rounds without pressure to try to win every race, |
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. |
The numbers are always important and to have won like (as many as) Mick (Doohan) is a great pleasure. But this victory is very much more important. |
The other guys did a great job, |
They were two intense and interesting days. I turned a lot of kilometers and began to understand how the car works, |
They've made some modifications here over the last couple of years including resurfacing, bigger run-off areas and better curbing, |
This break was very important because the first half of the season has been very tough and everybody needed to rest, |
This track is magic, it was a great race. I wasn't able to escape. Nicky had a great race and stayed right with me. |
This was a fantastic first day for us, especially the afternoon, |
To be honest I didn't expect Casey to be so strong at the beginning of the season and he is doing a very good job on the Honda. |
Today was a strange day because we all came back from the holidays and it felt like everybody was still in the beach rhythm! |
Under braking I just clipped his rear wheel and we both crashed. I hope he is not in too much pain... |
