2023 SEASON SO FAR
There were many changes before the start of the season , and with my crew chief , we tried to change a bit of work to give me a better feeling , to try to win because I have a few years with Ducati getting good results but still not feeling 100 % comfortable . So we try to find this comfort zone on the bike to then get stronger when I need to be . I was thinking about this during the summer break . Clearly , the first position is like the cherry on the cake . But , it ' s not obsessing , it ' s just to raise my level to then have maybe an idea of a title . There is still a little light about the title , but in Assen I got the zero in the Tissot Sprint race and a zero in the long race .
PRIMA PRAMAC RACING
At the moment , Prima Pramac Racing are the leaders in the Championship of the teams , so that ' s good . When both riders are pushing at the best to bring the team to the first position it ’ s a high satisfaction . We are feeling very good together and we are enjoying it a lot , but we have different styles and now each one has different set up on the bike . And we are also very lonely guys in the work . I mean , I ' m used to doing my things and he ' s also used to doing his things . Even if Jorge [ Martin ] is my teammate , but there are two riders on the Ducati bike and it ' s difficult to say if I push more for Pecco [ Bagnaia ] or more for Jorge , but I think Pecco remains the main guy . The winning bike is in my hands , so I will do the best for the top positions and enjoying these moments . If I can fight for the podiums , this is always a good satisfaction .
SETTING GOALS FOR 2023
The main target is to enjoy myself a lot on the bike because if I only think about the win and I don ' t win , then I will be sad . So if I can enjoy it , then I can also enjoy even more the victory . I could see that I did mistakes when I wanted the victories . The days I could have a big chance , I got another opponent that was stronger and was feeling even better than me . But you cannot have regrets because if you just lose a bit of energy by regretting something in the past , you are totally cooked for the present moment , maybe I need to wait a bit longer . But as long as I can feel this possibility , to think about this target , that gives me motivation for racing . I can see that many riders are still riding with the natural style , so that ' s the target of 2023 season , make my natural style work well on the bike . And in this way , I will win .
