At home people are entertained, we go to 300 times less. We are in the same House was an unnecessary risk. Having two drivers who finish on gravel makes no sense. Rossi has done so, I touched twice or three times. He was aggressive as with Gibernau at Jerez with Stoner Laguna Seca, but tomorrow it could happen to him: I am hotter than silk and Casey".

On the other hand It is not certainly did pray in order to respond to the accusations of the young team mate: "I wanted to go to and made from Cork, if restavamo was calm in the wake of Casey and Dovi could win.
