As for the level of spectacle of the two disciplines, I leave it to the people who watch the races to comment.

Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.

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

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

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.

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.
