Can it also be frustrating that<br />
in this social media fifteensecond-age<br />
people remember<br />
you for the dances, saves and<br />
other antics and not 27 laps of<br />
amazing performance…?<br />
Yeah: I had that a Le Mans this<br />
year. I did an incredible save<br />
on Friday but had an incredible<br />
race on Sunday and led<br />
every lap. I wasn’t even on the<br />
TV actually because I was at<br />
the front alone and there was<br />
no interest. After the weekend<br />
people were speaking more<br />
about the save on Friday than<br />
the win on Sunday! That’s the<br />
way. I like that though. I love<br />
motocross and there are riders<br />
in that sport that win a lot<br />
but maybe their style is not<br />
‘visual’. I think people really<br />
remember the visual stuff.<br />
Perhaps the problem with<br />
victory is that the memory is<br />
very much in the short-term<br />
present, especially when you<br />
win so much…<br />
If I struggle next year and<br />
crash a lot and an opponent<br />
wins then what we did this<br />
year is quickly forgotten. I<br />
think people will remember<br />
more things like what we did in<br />
