est for winning here. The proof
was they sent here Danilo last
year. They tried hard to keep him
for this year. That's a good op-
tion for me, because having the
manufacturer involved here and
giving us the best solution for
the bike, it's something you have
to enjoy and to give your best.
Are the bikes built here or are
they built in Italy?
They're built in Italy. Some
guys from the team went to
Italy, built the bikes, and then
they shipped them over. So, this
means the factory is involved.
It's the same as they do in the
British championship. The
Ducati team there is like factory.
They have a couple of guys from
the factory working there. Same
as here. This is good. As long
as you will build a nice structure
and you are committed to have
a nicer result and good riders,
Ducati will give you that.
For so many years, Ducati
never had anything here and it's
just a little bit more, a little
bit more.
The main thing for them is to
have a good structure, a good
team with a good budget with
a good image to stay in the na-
tional championship. They don't
want a small team where they
are not able to manage the situ-
ation. As long as they find good
teams, like World Endurance, in
the past in the German champi
-
onship where I was racing, they
were big teams and Ducati was
helping them. It's the same situ
-
ation here. We have to get that
support from Ducati.
