I'm very happy because I won a lot. I've won races and lived in a world that just gave me joy, so I remember it very positively.

I'm really happy, and beating Marc [Marquez] at the very last chicane gives me an extra boost.

How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?

I feel 100% a Yamaha rider in my heart. I had a long career and raced with several factory bikes, but the highlight of my career is undoubtedly with Yamaha.

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year; we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on
