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.

My approach to the races hasn't changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.

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

In 2009, I didn't like that Yamaha signed such a young and competitive teammate [Jorge Lorenzo]. But now everything is different. We are more mature. Everyone knows his role and position. Things are clear.

In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we're always on the bike and it's quite difficult.

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

I have always challenged myself and it's also important to learn from the rivals. Every rider has his own style, and you have to count on some elements that cannot be changed. On the contrary, the bike or the tires can change and it's important to adapt yourself. It's up to the rider to understand what he can change and how much he can adapt.

The tragic incident of Luis Salom reminds us that our sport, our passion, is dangerous. We know it but, in a way, we don't think about it.

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.

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

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

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

The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.

I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components

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.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

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