<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Interview with Sete on the topic,
link (in Spanish)
The header says, he will decide after the test if his status remains "retired" or not. The rest ... can't bother translating now, learn Spanish if you want to know what he says!
Here is a translation:
"Then I decide whether retired or switch back" <u></u>
Sete travel very determined to Mugello: "My first opponent will be me, not even Guareschi, which share test, and finish where happy, at home or on the track again"
So again climb to the Ducati year and a half after its withdrawal. What has led him to make this decision?
I have been bundled and I've stopped rolling. I swear that when I went last weekend to Montmeló to see the grand prize I did as a tourist, but I received very well, I opened many doors and I was proud of it.
Did you caught by surprise then the offer?
He had already heard some rumours earlier in this regard, those who had not given much credit. She knew she wanted to prove his Ducati motorcycle and had discussed the possibility to do so Troy Bayliss and Max Biaggi, but in the end what I am going to do next week in Mugello.
What made you accept after how difficult it was decided by the withdrawal, at the end of the 2006 season?
After being stopped almost two years, I awoke gusanillo watching the pilots in action in Montmeló proposal for Ducati and me has come at a good moment for me. I am a person who is moved by impulses and now I have had it. The motorcycles have been my life and passion I have not lost in time that I have been away from racing. The heart beats me forcefully when I see. This possibility makes me happy and is a gift that makes me Ducati.
Is it the prelude to his return to competition?
For the moment let me climb again and that is a source of pride. Ducati wants the test and then we'll see what happens. I got on the bike this year and the next, GP9, to see sensations. I will not believe the evidence in anything special, just to see where I am.
Are references to give rise to Ducati or you examined before a possible return?
Ducati to bring everything I can in those three days of workouts, but they are aware that took two years for. I do not think that depend on me to advance its project. What I want is to enjoy this opportunity offered to me and Thursday, when complete evidence, just decided not to climb to a MotoGP and never stay home or I am looking for a team to return.
Could replace Melandri leaving either the experience? The Italian is signing a horrific years with the Ducati ...
Not justiciero come as no man or a bad place to stop any pilot. I feel much respect for the work of Melandri, who now does not leave things, but you try, and by that of Stoner, who enchufó lot last year and nobody has given anything. What comes after these three days of evidence do not know yet. It can be a hello and goodbye or else. I say that I already decided by impulses.
Will this very records that pilots marked MotoGP in Mugello two weeks ago?
I will be the first to be set at the stopwatch, but much respect to the current MotoGP pilots. In Montmeló, walking track, I was impressed by the strong pace that lead. It makes me really excited to do so. I have opened many doors and projects, because there is also some interest Kawasaki. This test I am not linked to anyone, but means that something good must be done in my time at Ducati and put my grain of sand to its 800 outside competitive.
They tell me he had the opportunity to run some races in 2007 as a tester of HRC.
We talked about it, but doing the whole championship. Then they twisted history.
Have 35 years. Would you that creates some doubt?
The years pass and you say to all that much respect to the grill, but I'm afraid not. We'll see where I am. My first opponent will be me, not even Guareschi, which share track, and finishing where I made happy, at home or on the track again.
