In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we`re always on the bike and it`s quite difficult.
In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn`t quite match that improvement.
