"The Phillip Island circuit seems spectacular. I hope to go there as recovered as possible "

"I think we can do quite well in Australia. We have a few days before starting, so during this time I will implement the instructions given to me for my recovery, raising my foot to keep the swelling down and walking a little every day. The Phillip Island circuit is very close to the sea, so I will take the opportunity to walk barefoot on the sand to get a little more strength in my ankle and calf, to try and prevent the shaking from my leg when on the bike. The circuit seems spectacular. I hope to go there as recovered as possible. It's a circuit that I think I'll like a lot, because of its fast corners; at first it will be a little tricky for my riding style, but it will be fun to gain experience there."

"In Australia I achieved my best result last year, and I think we go there in good shape"
 

"Phillip Island is a track I like. Last year, on the first few laps, I was impressed with the speed that you reach. It's a circuit that is so fast that you take corners in fifth or sixth gear. Last season I did well in Australia, with my best result this year, and now I think we go there in good shape. We’re on a run of two good races, in which I have been on the podium. Now we will continue working and, if we continue like we have been, I’m sure that next week we can be back fighting for the podium -and perhaps for the win."
