First of all, I want to really raise my level in the series this season, improve my pace to that of the lead group, and also improve the performance of the Dunlop tires. I’m also aiming to get on the podium as much as possible in 2007, and maybe even take a victory! That’s my clear and absolute target.
I joined the Yamaha team just this year but have already enjoyed a very productive test, really enjoying the bike as we worked through our program. I want to extend my best wishes to the fans that we expect to see at circuits this season, even though I’m the new face at the team.
