Racing with Yamaha gives me a great taste and a great motivation to win; these last two championships have been two of the best,

When it's difficult like this, the taste (of winning) is better.

The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.

Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.
