MotoGP Interviews

'You’ve got to take your hat off to Dovizioso. He just kept working mainly on him, and what he needed to get better. There have been riders in the past that have done that. Wayne Rainey’s one of them' – Kenny Roberts.

“Come Qatar, I can almost guarantee that we’ll be much closer to the front. How close, I’m not too sure … hopefully we’ll be able to fight at the front from the word go.”

“I’m proud of the way I’ve reacted … I’ve done it in a way where I’ve come back and I’ve chose to reinvent myself a little bit, change my approach, change my attitude, change my riding style.”

'I like the 2018 Ducati because you can use instinct more than method' - Danilo Petrucci.

A closer look at oil testing in Moto2 after last year's disqualifications for Dominique Aegerter (1st, Misano) and Mattia Pasini (2nd, Catalunya).

“I think Jorge in a way helped [Dovizioso] to convince himself that he can be a top rider – not only a fast rider.”

"You need to be very strong in your head if the Michelin technicians and all other riders prefer another choice and you want your own choice. It’s not easy"

“We are really, really strong [in Moto2]. I cannot dream of anything better at the moment rider-wise. We are really happy about this.”

"You have to believe in the people around you. Your technicians need to know you. When I stop into the box [I say] just two words and that’s it. They know me. They know what I need." 

"Casey was unbelievable... I know that one year ago at Sepang one of the Ducati guys asked a technician to check the data of Stoner. The technician said, 'No, for you, it's impossible'"
