6What would you keep from the first half of the year, and what would you change? “To keep it would be the speed that we had in the first races where we were going very fast. The things to forget would be the speed that we couldn’t get during the last races due to difierent situations like crashes, bad luck, and injuries.”What are your goals and hopes for the rest of the season?“For me the main goal of the second part of the season is to enjoy it, because when I’m enjoying myself that’s normally when I’m fast and I bring good results to the team. I also feel that the team needs good results to make the second half feel better. I can understand that TEAM SUZUKI RACING NEWSthe news has been very difficult to accept and understand, but now we’ll put it to one side and just give our best to enjoy the remainder.”the break? “I trained every day during the summer break, especially cycling. Then a few times per week I tried to get out on a motorbike: either MX, minibike, or trials. In Andorra it’s perfect for trials riding, and I like to set myself the challenge of riding sections. I also did some karting and I went to the gym a few times a week. My training was much the same as it is year-round, except in the winter I switch cycling for skimo!”What type of training did you do during How did you spend your free time away from the track? It seems you were quite busy… “Yes, this break was a special one! I got married, and before that I had a stag party in Ibiza with five of my friends. It was really nice and I enjoyed it a lot.

The wedding was really amazing, and then I had a holiday in Mallorca.”What would you keep from the first half of the year, and what would you change? “I would keep the spirit that the whole team have had, the way we’ve worked hard through the difficult situations has been important, and I definitely feel it’s something to keep. What I’d change is the crashes, I crashed too much during the first part of the season due to many different factors.” Which remaining rounds are you most looking forward to? “Well, Silverstone is not a track that I like a lot, but our bike always seems to suit the Mir recovered from a bad start to finish close to the top group at Mandalika circuit and we tend to do well. Last year we made the wrong tyre choice and it was costly, but my pace was good. Apart from that, I really like Austria and also Phillip Island, but most tracks are OK for me. It will also be very emotional to return to Motegi and to have the ‘last dance’ there.”What are your aims and hopes for the rest of the season? “Clearly our aim is to just go back to the beginning of the season where we were very strong. We still have nine races to go, and I really hope that both Joan and Alex enjoy their last part of their careers with Suzuki and have fun.”How do you assess the team’s reaction to the news of Suzuki’s departure from MotoGP? “It’s a sad situation, but I’m really pleased with the way all the team have reacted.
