16. nicky69_69 Whats the most terrifing experience and you most happiest time in you Motorbike racing career?
17. nicky69_69 What is you faveourite track and why?

21. Ooost What is your training regimen like?
22. Ooost How helpful has it been riding for Peter Clifford?
23. Ooost What would you be doing if you weren't racing motorcycles?
24. Ooost According to an interview from www.superbikeplanet.com, American Dunlop's Jim Allen believes that with proper machinery, such as the 2006 YZR-M1, Dunlop could acheive similar MotoGP results as Bridgestone straight away. In your experience with Dunlop tires aboard your WCM machine in 2005, do you agree with those comments?
25. Ooost Do you have many friends in the paddock?
26. Ooost Who is the ballsiest rider on the grid?

31. Drill Giving that the WCM engine is a relative of the M1 motor,did you adjust to the power characteristics of the M1 relatively easier and how long does it take to get a feel for sliding the rear end and the front for that matter?
32. Teo Do you think some riders get to MotoGP thanks to their nationality more than because of their skills?
33. Teo After Kato´s death some riders (ie Rossi) said that they wouldn´t race in unsafe circuits, but this year you´ve raced in Laguna Seca, which is not up to FIM safety standards, did someone (sponsors, team bosses etc...) pressure you guys to race there? Do all the riders meet to discuss these issues? Do you think Laguna is safe enough? Is Suzuka worse?
34. Dazza Who in MotoGP would you like to most as a teamate and for what reasons?
35. Dazza Did you hold down a normal 9-5 job before your career really took off on the track and what have you done?
36. Ooost Why number 77?
