28 Quotes by Ricky Carmichael

I know that when I signed with Suzuki, I didn't know it was going to be as good as it was. I was confident in my abilities and in the team and you've just got to give it up for Suzuki and all my sponsors - it's a long list, my wife, my parents... It's been a long career and a fun one.

I'm really happy for Ivan. He's been working hard, and I'm really pumped for him.

But I just focused on training harder than ever and Suzuki really brought their best to the table and the results have been phenomenal. I always enjoy Millville. The fans there are real enthusiasts and seem to appreciate the kind of work that goes into being successful in our sport.

He's just a great rider, bottom line. It just takes me a little longer to get going. You've got to give it up to him for sure.

It'll definitely be in the back of my mind,

Many people thought that riding for a new team and racing on a brand new bike would be a lot to overcome,

I'm looking forward to getting in Reliant and trying to get a win there. That's a great venue and a wonderful race.
