“It's been nice to have a break -- I've spent some time on a fishing trip with my wife's family and
some friends in the Gulf of Mexico and generally just enjoyed being at home for a while,”

“I like Brno, Motegi, Sepang, Qatar... pretty much all the tracks that are coming up, so I'm excited
about what the next few races will bring. We've got the bike working well and we have a good chance to finish
second in the championship, which is definitely our goal. Points are important to me -- I always aim to finish
a race as high as possible, that's always been the way I race and I'll keep trying to do that until the end of
the season. At the same time it would be great to win a race...so I'm going to try for both!”

“It seems that they're really keen on MotoGP there and we were given an enthusiastic welcome. The people are so kind and it was no different this time, they looked after us really well! We go to so many different cities but usually only have time to see hotels, airports and race tracks, so it was great to have the chance to experience a bit of local culture for once and do some sightseeing. From what I've seen so far, Bangkok is a really lively and interesting city; I hope I get to visit again sometime soon!”

“If you're doing MotoGP you get to spend a lot of
time at Sepang,”

“I've never really done that great there but I
enjoy the place. There's a couple of
tricky parts, you've got to get a couple of sections right to get
the lap time, like the fast downhill left at
turn five, you've got to carry a lot of speed through there, then
the same through the blind stuff after the
hairpin (turn nine). If you get those sections right you can get a
good lap time going.”

“[The tropically hot conditions that prevail at Sepang make life tough
for tyres, but Michelin has always
been up to the track's demands.] Sepang is one of
those special places where you get a lot more
wheelspin than normal, ... The
hotter it is, the more wheelspin you get, so you just try to
keep the bike in line, you have to think about conserving your tyres
more. The place is very heavy on
the right side of the tyres, that's the side that gets all the
abuse, so Michelin takes all that into account
and builds something focusing 90 per cent on of the right side of
the tyre. The places that really
generate heat are turns three, six and coming onto the back straight
(turn 14) where the thing just
wants to light up.”

“[Riders can get so sideways at 14 that photographers and cameramen
congregate there during winter
testing to capture riders showing off for the cameras.] It's one of the funnest corners, it just kinda sets
itself up like speedway! ... It's uphill,
so you come up there and it automatically kicks out
sideways. But you can always have fun on MotoGP bikes, doesn't
matter if you had all the traction in
the world you could still break the thing loose!”
