When was your first win on a motorcycle ? In 2006 , in the third race of the season , on a pocket bike .
Do you have a pet ? Yes , I have a dog called Vicky , from the name Victoria . She is between a Pomeranian and another breed , like a mix . She is sitting next to me right now , on the sofa . I love animals .
Were you good in school ? I was very good in school . Also in high school , I always had very good marks . In Spain we are rated from zero to 10 . And my average was 8.7 . I decided to start a university degree in Sports Science . But , because I was also racing , instead of trying to do two things not in the top level I decided to make one in the top level and this was to be a rider .
What is your favourite cuisine ? I love Paella . In Valencia our most favourite dish is Paella . On Sunday ’ s , when we are with the family , this is the moment when we all sit together at the table and talk about all the things that happened in the week . It is a nice moment with the family but also the food we eat , Paella , is my favourite one . My mother makes a very good Paella .
Do you have siblings ? I have a brother , Ivan , four years younger than me . He studies engineering , so maybe in a few years he can come with me !

What do you do on a long-haul flight ? When not sleeping I try to read a lot but I get dizzy . I watch movies or take notes about things I have to do , or things I did ; things I want to remember . Let ' s say I have to use the time to organise myself better .
