about my riding style,

but, I don't know,

for me he said some wrong things...

Because he said I touch him

and maybe he crashed.

Lorenzo dives

for the inside line and touches!

Oh, he was almost down!

And he was just hanging on.

Lorenzo is absolutely furious!

I was in front and he tried to pass me

and he did a mistake.

He hurt me.

His tire was on my leather

from the leg to the shoulder.

So for me it's not a correct example.

It's working? Yeah?

For my side, I think yesterday

I speak the right words.

And for me, it's not a problem.

If in the future, it doesn't happen

anything, it's not a problem.

We'll see what happens in the future.

Yes, but you did

a wrong example for me.

I think you have a lot of touching

with a lot of riders.

Yes, but the example

was wrong for me.

How many races I doesn't crash?

I don't touch any rider.

I said that your example was wrong.

Sorry, eh?

This is your opinion.

But I think a lot of people

here in the paddock,

a lot of riders

have the same opinion of me.

Try to ask.

Ask Dovizioso for example...

For example, ask Dovizioso in 2005.

It doesn't matter.

If in the future it doesn't happen,

it's not a problem for me.

But in the future if something

happens with you, will be a problem.

OK. I will be arrested.

OK, let's quiet...

Let's calm down a little bit.

Sorry.

No, you and Marco, that is fine.

That's no problem.

I can speak?

Of course you can speak. Please.

No. This question...

Everybody's laughing...

But it's not funny

because we are playing with our lives.

We are riding at 300 per hour.

With bikes, very powerful

and very heavy.

It's not mini-bikes.

So, it's a dangerous sport.

And you have to think

what do you do.

At the highest level,

motorcycle racing

is a display of dangerous brilliance.

The performance of death-defying feats

of skill and daring.

That is the underlying contest.

A dance with potential destruction.

You know that this is dangerous.

When you ride at 100%,

you always risk.

but when you have the feeling

that the situation is under control,

you can push the last 10%.

We know the dangers of racing.

You need to respect

the riders next to you.

You don't know

the last time you'll see them.

We go into races knowing it can happen.

You don't think about it.

If that starts creeping in your mind,

then you leave.

You've gotta take risks

to stay in the game.

When you run the numbers,

the odds are on the riders' side.

Over an 18-race season,

the practice sessions and races

in the three MotoGP classes

produce hundreds of crashes.

Serious injuries are limited

to a few broken bones most of the time.

Do you know how many crashes
