It was good to get back on the track again. I haven't been here in a few years, so it was good to get some laps in.

The AMA has royally screwed up this time and they're going to have to fix it.

I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike. I've been off it for three weeks and it seems like forever. We're looking forward to improving our results from the test. We weren't able to go as quick as we would have liked then. I'm anxious to get some laps in, work with the team to maybe change some things with the setup, and just ride better. We have two races ahead of us and like I said, I just want to get back out there on the track.

I feel like I am riding well and the bike is fantastic. I think we can improve our setup and that's where we will work. We learned some things today and I'm ready to get back on the track as soon as possible.

Nanotechnology has been moving a little faster than I expected, virtual reality a little slower.

Traits acquired during one's lifetime - muscles built up in the gym, for example - cannot be passed on to the next generation. Now with technology, as it happens, we might indeed be able to transfer some of our acquired traits on to our selected offspring by genetic engineering.
