Ralf Waldman the German MotoGP rider sadly died of a heart attack this week at only 51.
In this obituary this classic quote was attributed to him:
After the race he was asked if he was a hero. Waldmann’s reply was typical of the man. “When I started on wet tyres I was an idiot. Then when it rained and I could win, I was a hero. The difference between hero and idiot is very small.”
