“I trained a little more than in previous races. With the new game I'm much closer because we all started playing more or less at the same time. We had a lot of fun and I really enjoyed all the races because it's more relaxed than in the paddock, so we also make jokes. Let's see what will happen in Misano, the last time I was there (GP 2019, ed.) we had a great battle with Quartararo.”

“Misano hasn't always been one of my favorite circuits in real life, but I think it will be a good race with the rest of the MotoGP riders. You can be creative with some lines and there is more chance of avoiding crashes at the first corner. I want to win, in Jerez I think that without the initial crash I would have had a good chance of doing so. I'm sure it will be another fun show for all the fans."
