I’ve had some really great moments at Phillip Island and also some very bad results. It’s funny because I never seem to have an intermediate result at this track. Last year was a disaster with the rain in the race, so this year I’m hoping balance that with a good result. We tested at Phillip Island before the start of the season when the RC212V was very new. That test went well and we achieved a pretty good set-up for the circuit. It was quite a while ago though and a lot has changed with the machine and the tyres since then so we’ll still have plenty to learn in practice. I’m feeling better now after the Japan crash. I still have some bruising and pain in my left foot but it should be ok for Phillip Island. There are lots of left-hand corners at this circuit which will put some pressure on the foot but I think it will be fine. Also the weather can be very variable at this time of year – as we saw last season – so a lot will depend on the forecast and the tyre choice on Thursday as always.
