| 00:00 - 00:03 | We are returning to race in Europe. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | The next races are in Jerez, |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Le Mans, and Mugello. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | Our championship lead is at stake |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | and we previously struggled particularly in Jerez. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | We will dominate these races |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | with our special swingarm aerodynamics. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Look Gigi |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | Honda... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Honda also has swingarm aerodynamics |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | Yamaha and even Aprilia have them now. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone but the aerodynamic crew, please vacate the room |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | They copied our device! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | This is blatant intellectual property theft! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | After all the effort to disguise its purpose! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Soon even KTM will have one. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Even in Moto2! |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | How could they figure it out so fast? |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | All those hours in the wind tunnel |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | the entire investment is ruined! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | But we tried to disguise it as a tyre cooler... |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | You should've stuck a big Marlboro logo in it instead! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Our sponsor is Mission Winnow, not cigarettes... |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Like Philip Morris is some folk charity! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | It is a cigarette ad! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Everyone would've believed it |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Just another lunge for more sponsor cash |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | Putting big money logos wherever they fit |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | But a tyre cooling device? |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | Who would believe you need cooling in a desert night! |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | My balls were freezing in the pit lane |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | The only colder race would have been one organized by Stalin! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | I brought everything with me to Ducati |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | Everything I had invented at Aprilia |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | where we ruled 250cc and Superbikes |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Exposed |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | All the aerodynamic advantages we had are now copied! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | The salad box is not enough to win in MotoGP. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | Now we need wings on the rear fairing! |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Formula one-style rear wings just behind the rider! |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Wings so large you can't tell it's even a bike! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Impossible, rear fairing is in aero body regulation |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | We didn't touch the rear wheel yet |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | It can't be impossible to put aero there |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Spinning aero things |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Otherwise we will lose to Marquez. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Reserve the VAG wind tunnel for the summer break |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | I want wheel aerodynamics in place by Motegi |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | We'll call it a safety device. |
