You will be visiting many new countries this coming season. Where are you most looking forward to going to and why and which circuit are you most exciting about racing on for the first time?

"I am looking forward to going to China. I have heard a little about it from the team and it just sounds very unique. I can't wait to race at Jerez and Barcelona, I have watched GP's at these two tracks for a long time and they look like great tracks to race on."

What are your plans and hopes for next season?

"My first goal like any other rider in the paddock is to beat my team mate, but that is not going to be easy. John has a lot of experience and has proven how fast he is many times by qualifying on the front row and running top six often. It would be great if we could work well together with development and push each other so that we are both pushing for top positions consistently."
