I think I don't really have any expectations; I don't look at the season as a whole - I look at it race by race.

I think there is no defending a title. You don't go into a season with a points advantage over anyone. So I don't think it's ever a title defence. I think you've got a different number on your bike, if you choose so, but everyone starts at zero again.

I never really look too far ahead, to be honest.

There are a lot of good guys that I race against, and that's what I enjoy the most.

Pageants are already ridiculous and sad, I think.

I think that glamour is about confidence and really owning the look.
