INTERVIEW P68 CHAZ DAVIES thing is coming from the factory. You are not a customer or anything. Development goes straight back to the offices in Bologna, and the racing office of Feel Racing is 10 minutes down the road. It is all there and I have been and seen where the offices are, seen how it all works and seen Gigi Dall'Igna there. Whom were you working with in the Ducati team box during the last 2013 tests in Spain? A lot of the guys were from the test team and obviously Feel Rac- ing has their own group of people too, so I think it will be a mix of their own test team guys and some Feel Racing guys. Some prefer to be on that development end of it and not have to do the travelling. I think everybody has a clear direction of where it is all going. It does not make any odds to me because I am coming to Ducati fresh, but it will be very much a factory effort anyway. Obviously you would like to go and race at Laguna Seca again, as an old AMA rider? Yes I would because it is a World Championship, isn't it? It is one of the biggest continents and I am all for less races in Europe and more external ones, as long as all the travelling makes sense. I would also love the chance to race at Sepang again, for example. We will have very short race days now, with the new schedule, so you World Superbike guys are going to be warm-up, race, race - and then go home very quickly. Do you prefer this change or do you want the two bikes back so that if anything
