Then he star ted d roppi ng comer speed, so I t h o u g h t , "Okay ," and [ got b ack by . Then h e was jus i ru nn i ng with me. [ knew his bik e was a little bit qu ick er , so [ was go i ng to have to win from t he front - try an d cover him. H e was a b it over the limit with a couple of p asses. Then , at th e last turn, he' d been better th an me all race, but [ didn' t expect him to come by me - it's a pretty hard place to pass. All credi t to Tady. H e' s been push i ng ha rd a ll y ea r , an d if yo u pu sh lo ng enough y ou eve n tua lly get ther e, and in all honesty he beat m e fai r and square. T he re' s no anim osity th ere. I was angry afte r the r ac e b eca use o f w ha t [ exp lained ear lier - and becau se I'd been w inning for quite a w hile, and it wa s a bit o f a sh ock getti ng beaten . You v irtually own the 500cc class now, and it's hard to see how that will stop until you get tired of it. How many more years do you think you have? I'm not sure. The off-seasons definitely get harder to come awa y fro m . D o you mean that you're learning how to enjoy l ei su re? N ot r eally. [ just k now h ow i n tense it gets. [ gu ess [ get away from th e m otor- _ cycling fo r a while, and it's ha rd to get focu sed again. Next ye ar ['II see how i t goes, but hon estl y , I can 't say w he ther 1998 w ill be m y la st y ear or not. Bu t [ know th at if [ d o race i n 1999, it will be all said an d d one by t h e en d o f tha t year. The biggest facto r will be if I'm sti ll ca pab l e o f being compe titive, an d still enjoying it. If [ we re losing more th an I w as w i n n i ng , th en I ' d ca ll it a d ay . When [ say losing, [ m ean com ing th i rd or fou r t h . But i f I ' m cl ose, running up the front th er e, th at i ns p i r es m e. When yo u get beat en , [ think you ' re tau ght a few l esso ns and you try an d i m prove. So it' s good to lo se, but when y ou'r e ou t of touch with th e lead ers - that's w hen i I's time to leave. I can't see w hy I wouldn' t be com pe titive next y ear. To th in k I can win as m u ch as I d id this yea r w ould be a little over the top. If I cou ld .w in five r aces, I 'd be happ y , and ju st b e s t r o n g in every ra ce. If I'm not, th en I know that it's lime - M ic k D o ohan' s m otivati on would be gone, and after th e last race of the y ear , y o u jus t w ouldn' t see me .
