RSS Kommentare TrackbackAngenehm, dass die Damen und Herren von Yamaha (in diesem Falle Yamaha USA) weiterhin einen so guten Job machen und ihre Stars regelmäßig auch ohne Bike vor die Kamera setzen. Nach den eher humoristischen Einlagen (wie z.B. das Video aus dem US-Headquarter von Yamaha) hier mal eine “etwas gesetztere Gesprächsrunde” von Eddie Lawson und Ben Spies:

Und in Textform:
Everyone expects that the rivalry between you and Valentino will be even stronger this year. How do you plan to manage it?
I think our rivalry is not personal, but just limited to the sport area. For me it is normal: we both want to win and we are in the same team. Last year we had a very polite and good relationship with the media and I expect this year to be the same again.
Who is your biggest rival this year and why?
I don’t know. Theoretically Valentino, Casey, Dani and me are the riders who are going to fight for the championship, but I am sure that it is possible that somebody else will be fighting with us for the championship. Is your aim this season to be world champion? Will you be satisfied with second place again? Yes, I would be satisfied with the second position. It is a very difficult position to get, especially now that I am riding with fantastic riders. Anyway, I want to win but I am not in a hurry to get the championship. I have to be patient.
You made a few mistakes last year, what have you learnt from them and how will you avoid making similar ones this year?
I think that last year’s problem was that all four riders were riding at their limit at every race and in that condition it is very difficult to finish the races. It is true that I made a few mistakes of strategy or concentration that I will try to avoid this year, but I am quite satisfied with my 2009 season. Your first season in MotoGP was spectacular but included a lot of injuries. After such an up-and-down first year, did you expect to be as strong as you were in your second? I hoped to be more regular and faster. Again this year I want to try to be better but you know, maybe I will not get it. And if you can’t be better, you may go down mentally, so I will try again and I will try to improve my performances.
How do you think you can improve this season? Are there any specific areas you want to focus on that will make you a stronger racer?
Yes, I really think that my starts are not the best. This winter I have been training very hard to improve this quality, because if you start well you avoid many problems…
Have you requested any developments for the M1 this year to tailor it more to your riding style?
You know, fortunately one of my best qualities is that I can adapt my riding style pretty easily, so for this reason I don’t think I have to tell many things to our engineers. I think Valentino has more experience and is a very good rider, so I have my hopes to him to develop the M1.
If you are faced with a replay of Barcelona 2009 this season, do you think you will know how to beat Valentino this time?

What have you been doing during the off-season? How much training and how much holidaying?
If my time during winter was 100, let’s say 50/50 between holiday and training. I went to the mountains with my friends and I snowboarded with them, which is my favourite winter sport. My training during the winter break is very different than the standard one during the MotoGP season. Anyway, I have never stopped training, otherwise it would be very much difficult to start riding again this year.
How do you prepare for a new season? Is it more important to work on your fitness these days?
Training has become more and more important, because MotoGP bikes are more and more difficult to be ridden and you need power and resistance for the 45 minutes of the race. You also have to get to the new season start in the best possible shape. At the gym, my training is pretty normal, with weights, but I always try to ride motocross or supermotard bikes at the ‘cava’, in order to not lose the feeling with the throttle.
At the age of 31 (nearly) do you think you are still improving as a racer or do you think you have reached the peak of your talents?
On 16th February I will be 31. I will be a little older… I always try to be at the top of my shape, improving and trying to adapt to the new bike. You always need to adapt yourself to the new bike, to the new regulation. If you think you are at the top of your performance, it is a big problem! Every season has its own story, it is more and more difficult and you always have to be faster. I will try again, as usual.
Who do you think will be toughest to beat this season, Jorge, Casey or Dani, and why?
