We made some modifications in order to improve the acceleration and unfortunately we lost a lot of grip in braking.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.
icons want valentino
I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.

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 have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.
race years interesting
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
positive-thinking able tyres
I am able to ride the bike and think clearly about strategy and tyres. I also have positive thinking. I am very constructively critical.
