In the last few years Valencia has become, as it is the final race in the calendar, a sort of final exam for the riders where the fans are the examiners. Before going to the Circuito Ricardo Tormo did you expect your top marks and the support that the fans gave you over the whole weekend?

DP:
The truth is that you always feel the support and affection from the public. I have always had a very special relationship with them, because it is very different from the criticism that I have seen in the press. I liked to see how the fans have supported us so well, especially myself.

Q:
They say you learn from your mistakes. Do you think that you have learnt much, the team, HRC and yourself, this year?

DP:
My team yes. My team has learnt a lot, learning what they have to do, in what way…but there are so many working in this team, in this factory, that it is difficult to know whether the same mistakes will be repeated.

Q:
Finally, can you tell us about your plans in the next two months, from now to the end of the year?

DP:
Tests in Jerez, and then a little rest. Holidays and to enjoy myself at Christmas.
