Pre-season Thoughts
I wanted to come back to try and keep the number one. This was a tough season; the races were hard so I was really happy to win again at the final round. I now want to win again, as nobody has won the championship four times. There is new competition for next season, like Shakey coming back and riders changing teams, so it is another new challenge. It is important to me to win again and I know that with HM Plant Honda we can fight for it.
