Finally after a season like 2010 you build up a very good relationship with the rider and with the team. You share lot of good moments together that builds up your bond. The start of 2011 wasn’t easy I have to admit, we knew each other very well as a team but we were a bit worried about the level of the competition so it wasn’t an easy start.”

What are your first impressions having arrived in MotoGP from the World Superbike Championship?
“It’s very different for sure. There are more people involved in the project here, MotoGP Factory racing is more important so everything is bigger than it was in my past. Having said that, practically working in the garage it’s very much the same but as soon as you leave the garage and walk out into the paddock it’s a different atmosphere. I was used to sharing information and talking a lot with the other competitors in World Superbike but here it is quite different. I don’t know many people yet and I need to change that.”
