I have designs I like applied to my helmet, motorcycle, riding suits, gloves,and boots. I have a designer friend of mine put the designs on them for me. I think a livery on the helmet is significant in expressing a rider's personality.

I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.

I am completely focused on being strong, riding fast, and enjoying myself. With the new generation of riders, only the chronometer counts. I need to be faster than them on track.

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

I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.

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.
