If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.

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

I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.

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.

I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.

Luck is one thing. It has always been there, it has always been a part of my success. It's a part of everyone's success. Without it, you can't be successful. But luck is something you have to stimulate, something you have to nurture through the choices you make...That's why things have always worked out for me. Things work out not just because I'm lucky, but because I plan ahead. I figure out what I want and I go for it. I've always spent a lot of time trying to surround myself with the right people, the kinds of teammates who could lead me to my goals.

Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.
