Thank you, I quite enjoyed that! Also gave a lot of insight into his approach, how he's not a front-end feel guy like Rossi and Lorenzo, and how he "flat-tracks" through high speed corners. Very interesting!
One thing he mentioned though, right at the start, "If I let fear control me, I never would have gone as fast as I did".
This is telling in that he never suffered a major injury during his GP career. Rossi, Lorenzo and even Marquez got A LOT slower after the biggest injuries of their careers. The body may heal, but the mind always remembers the pain. I'm sure if he had broken a leg or his back half-way through, the latter half of his career would have looked a lot differently than the way it turned out.
Amazing racer though. One of my favorites to watch!
