Quotations

For me, Dakar, it is to dine every evening with five hundred mechanics. Not really my trick.
People who, because they were seen twice on TV, put black glasses and any more will not make their races to the supermarket, I find that it is exaggerated a little. (on October 16th, 2007 on Radio operator Monaco)
