XM: You were up to speed and fit from the opening round. Take us through your pre-
season preparations
MT: The difference this year was my training in Europe in the summer as well as a change
in my mental approach to the weekend. I took my race bike to a few European tracks for a
few months and just had a go on new circuits and tried to gain experience from the guys
abroad. That surely benefited me when I came back for the season. I also changed the
way I got into my practice sessions and the whole race weekend, to be stronger during the
races mentally.
