I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components
Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.
I'm really happy, and beating Marc [Marquez] at the very last chicane gives me an extra boost.
