You try to do a technical feature: in front of me I had a strong rider who brakes hard and it's difficult to pass.

The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true.

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

However I am looking forward to the two new Grands Prixs both Shanghai and Laguna Seca are fantastic tracks and it will be good to race at them.

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

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.
