MotoGP Interviews

"There would be nothing better than winning with Ducati" - Cal Crutchlow.

"I think that Valentino is suffering a little because he never had to push on a full tank of fuel and new tyres and now he's trying to do that as a 34-year-old" - Dr Martin Raines.

"The technology and electronics make a MotoGP bike a great challenge and it's fascinating to try to make them go fast" - Stefan Bradl.

"Jorge all the year complained about me, complained that I might [injure another] rider. And here [at Valencia] he had some movements even stronger"- Marc Marquez.

"Hopefully Aprilia will step up to the plate. If it doesn't happen then I'll just walk away. It's great being part of MotoGP but I don't enjoy running at the back" - Paul Bird.

"We've had a lot of riders - maybe 30 or more - but when we retire, for the whole team, Cal is going to remain a special guy" - Herve Poncharal, Tech 3.

"I want to try and grab the opportunity with both hands" - Damian Cudlin.

"We're ahead of the team and sponsors' expectations and targets, but it's just that within myself I want to see something better in the last races" - Bradley Smith.

"I'm happy that Marc [Marquez] is winning with a similar style to mine as it vindicates what I was saying" - Toni Elias.

"If you've got ten riders on track and seven are saying one thing, then that's probably the best direction to go in. It's a pretty democratic system" - Eskil Suter.

"Certain parameters can be set-up for each corner. Those would usually be the torque, engine braking, wheelie control and traction control maps. The corner is identified on a distance basis because GPS is banned from MotoGP" - Phil Borley.

"Don't let the spring valve aspect of the Honda Production MotoGP bike scare you. That thing's gonna be fast as hell. I've heard some numbers and compared to the prototypes, there's not much difference" - Colin Edwards.

"I think the very important - and very positive - news is that Suzuki has decided to come back to MotoGP. Okay, it is one year later, but Suzuki is committed" - Davide Brivio.

"I'm sure that Scott Redding is at a similar level to Marc Marquez... If MotoGP teams are now not considering Scott then I think there is something wrong with the world!" - Michael Bartholemy.

"Nobody owes you anything, you've got to earn it" - Michael Laverty.

"Looking at how testing has gone, we can say that Marc has adapted very well, but this does not really mean anything" - Santi Hernandez.

"I had fun on a few stints, like when I started to slide on worn tyres and began to understand the reactions. It is a bike that you can have a lot of fun on" - Marc Marquez.

"I went into [the Tech 3 MotoGP ride] expecting them to give me maybe 5 laps. Instead they basically filled it with fuel and told me to have fun with it" - Melissa Paris.

"Pulling the muscle off my shoulder in Estoril this year was really painful..." - Taylor Mackenzie.
