"I was expecting a speech like this. Expectations were high, and disappointment was important. It is normal when things go well they are all good friends, but when they go wrong is when problems begin to arise. All depends on the results, should they begin to win, everyone would get along again."
"It's hard being a private pilot, because once you've had treatment pilot plant is like a step back. Manufacturers have resources that a private team can never match, or during the weekend or in terms of research and development. "
"Rossi would have to make a significant investment to start a private computer. For me it was different: I returned to MV Agusta after being left for purely technical reasons, because the 2 times were more competitive.

"Having a decrease in performance is sad, but inevitable. As a pilot, it is difficult to realize and accept.

It's like an orange, you can keep squeezing, but beyond a certain point there is no more juice ".
"The mental component is very important to the performance of a pilot. If you start to feel disappointed or lose motivation, it is difficult to ride well That's the only explanation for finishing behind Hayden and Barbera. It is possible that their benefits have fallen so much in just one year. "
