Having said that, that was just one track so we’ll have to see what happens on circuits with different characteristics because every track is a different world. At the moment I’m very excited to have signed this new deal with Porsche and now I’m keen to try out the new car and see what it feels like on the streets!” added the two timw MotoGP World Champion.
