It’s very satisfying because one of my goals is to always be at the forefront and to be very consistent, whatever the circuit and in all conditions. I like the Silverstone circuit, but we know that it will be a difficult event because our competitors are generally very strong here (Viñales won in 2016 and Rossi the previous year, while Dovizioso finished 6th in 2016 and 3rd in 2015, Editor’s note). Last year we did a good job all weekend, but for the race we probably did not make the best choice of front tire. This year we will do everything to to be able to fight again for the podium ".

The Misano test was very important because we were able to work in the optics of Silverstone and the San Marino GP in a few weeks ".

One of the key factors will be the weather, always quite unstable in England, but our bike has shown that it is competitive both on the wet and dry.

I had some good experiences early in my career and won there twice in World Superbike. In MotoGP, for At the moment things haven’t gone so well. The first year we had technical problems and last year I had a big crash. But now we’re in great shape and we’ve been good on the last few I will try to take advantage of this circuit which I like a lot and the objective is always to finish in the top 10.
