"You can have a small problem in the first one and you pay a lot. Sincerely, I don't like [it] much, three races in a row - it's also a big stress.

"From the other side, you stay on the bike for a lot of time, so you can go faster and faster, and it's three fantastic tracks. I like Motegi, but especially Phillip Island and Sepang, it's always a great pleasure to ride the MotoGP at these three tracks."

"And normally when you make a race and you have the next race in the next [few] days, normally all your muscles are more ready and you have fewer problems. Should be a good three races."
