Interview of Mika AHOLA

« I hope to be riding until I'm 40 years old… »

With less than 3 weeks before the beginning of the season, interview of Mika AHOLA, 4 times World Champion.

1. In less than 1 month will start the new season in Spain…How did you spend your winter time?
Mika Ahola : Training in Spain and testing and developing the bike for 2 months.

2. What is the first feeling about your new bike?
MA : My bike is just evolution from CRF450R. It has only 30cc bigger piston and cylinder that’s all. It feels very competitive and fast!

3. HM Honda supporting by Honda Europe is pushing hard in 2011 with 9 riders in the same team… Aren’t you afraid about this “mega” team?
MA : It remains to be seen what will happen but I am not worried because I still have Luca Pidutti as my personal mechanic.

4. The frenchies Rodrig Thain and Jeremy Joly are your Team mates….Will you learn French and how is the first contact with them?
MA : Rodrig and Jeremy are both nice guys and I think they are going to improve their results this year. We are speaking English although I want to learn French... just no time to study!
