अपने करियर के अंत में, ज्यादातर समय मैं एक ऐसा राइडर रहा जो पीछे से अचानक उभरकर सामने आता था और बस वैसे ही रेस जीत जाता था। मैं शांत रहता था और अपने अनुभव का इस्तेमाल करता था। इसलिए यदि आप उस एहसास को समझ सकते हैं, यदि आप उसे संभालना जानते हैं, तो हाँ, यह वाकई बहुत शानदार होता है।
At the end of my career, I was, most of the time, a rider who came out of the background and won races just like that. I stayed calm and used my experience. So if you can feel that, if you know how to handle that, then yeah, that's really nice.

मुझे रेसिंग की याद तो नहीं आती, पर हर दिन अभ्यास करने, वर्कआउट करने के वे दिन बहुत याद आते हैं, क्योंकि अब मैं कई अलग-अलग कामों में व्यस्त हूँ। लेकिन अगर दिन में मुझे थोड़ा भी समय मिल जाए, तो मैं एक अच्छा वर्कआउट करना चाहता हूँ, क्योंकि इस समय मेरा मुख्य लक्ष्य अपने पूरे करियर का अनुभव युवा राइडर्स और कंपनियों के साथ साझा करना है।
I don't miss racing, but I miss the time to train every day, to do the workouts, because I'm busy with a lot of things now. But if I have space during my day, I want to have a good workout, because my main goal right now is to give all the experience I've had in my career back to young riders, to companies.

मैंने अपने लिए जो दिनचर्या बनाई, उसमें मैंने कई बार देखा कि दूसरे लोगों ने मेरी नकल की। और यदि आप किसी की नकल करते हैं, तो आप हमेशा दौड़ में पिछड़ जाते हैं। और यही मेरी हमेशा से किस्मत रही कि मैंने कभी किसी की नकल नहीं की, बल्कि हमेशा कुछ नया विकसित किया। और वे हमेशा मुझसे एक कदम पीछे रहे।
With the schedule I created for myself, I saw a lot of times that others copied what I did. And if you copy somebody, you are always too late. And that was always my luck, that I never copied somebody, that I developed something new. And they were always one step behind.

अपने करियर के दौरान मैं सबसे मजबूत था, और इससे मुझे बहुत मदद मिली, खासकर शुरुआत में, जब मुझे उन रेसरों के खिलाफ मुकाबला करना था जो मुझसे बहुत बड़े थे और जिनके पास ताकत और अनुभव दोनों थे। मैं अपनी तकनीक से उन्हें मात दे सकता था। एक वक्त ऐसा आया जब मेरे पास सिर्फ तकनीक ही नहीं बल्कि ताकत और अनुभव भी आ गया, और तब आप अपने उस स्तर पर होते हैं जहाँ से बेहतर आप कभी नहीं हो सकते। लेकिन फिर आपका आक्रामक जोश कम होने लगता है, आपमें थोड़ा डर आने लगता है, और तकनीक भी थोड़ी कम हो जाती है। लेकिन यह ठीक है, क्योंकि वह कभी पूरी तरह खत्म नहीं होती।
I was the strongest during my career, and that helped me a lot, definitely in the beginning, when I needed to race against riders who were much older than me and had the power and the experience. I could beat them with my technique. At a certain moment I not only had the technique but then the power came and the experience, and then you are on the best level that you ever can reach. But then the explosivity starts to go down, you're more afraid, and the technique goes down a bit. But it's OK, because it never goes completely down.

यदि आप देखते हैं कि आपका खेल बदल रहा है, तो आपको भी खुद को बदलना होगा, इस पर विचार करना होगा और अपने आसपास ऐसे लोगों के साथ काम करना होगा जो अपने काम में वास्तव में बहुत होशियार हों, चाहे वे कोच हों या प्रबंध निदेशक।
If you see that your sport is changing, you need to change yourself and think about it and work with people around you who are really smart in what they do, whether as a coach or as a managing director.

बीस साल के रेसिंग करियर के बाद मैंने जो सबसे महत्वपूर्ण सबक सीखा, वह यह है कि आपके अंदर जुनून होना चाहिए और आपको हर दिन उच्चतम स्तर पर अपनी साइकिल चलाने से सच्चा प्रेम होना चाहिए। इसके अलावा, व्यक्तिगत रूप से मेरा हमेशा से यह लक्ष्य रहा कि मैं आने वाली नई पीढ़ी को मात देने की कोशिश करूँ, इस खेल को फिर से चुनौती दूँ। यहाँ तक कि 37 साल की उम्र में भी खुद को बेहतर बनाने का प्रयास करता रहा।
After 20 years of racing career the most important lessons I learned is that you need to have the passion and really love to ride your bike every day at the highest level. Also, for me personally, my goal was to always try to beat another generation, to try to beat the sport again. Trying to develop myself even when I was 37 years old.

1997 में जब मैंने एक पेशेवर एथलीट के रूप में शुरुआत की थी, तब मेरा खेल ऐसा नहीं था जैसा आज है। मुझे आने वाली पीढ़ी को हराने के लिए खुद को ढालना पड़ा, साथ ही खेल में भी बदलाव आए। साइकिलें बदल चुकी हैं, खेल तेज हो गया है, और यह और अधिक पेशेवर होता जा रहा है। लेकिन मेरा लक्ष्य हमेशा दूसरों से एक कदम आगे रहने का रहा। यही मेरी प्रेरणा थी। इसी ने मुझे साल भर और बेहद कठिन परिस्थितियों में भी हर दिन काम करने की शक्ति दी। और यह सिलसिला कभी नहीं रुका।
In 1997, when I started as a professional athlete, my sport was not like it is now. I needed to develop myself to beat the next generation, but things also changed in the sport. Bikes have changed, the sport has gotten faster, and it's becoming more professional. But my goal always was to try to be one step in front of all the others. That was my motivation. That helped me to work every day during the year, and very hard. And it never stopped.
