And then my Suzuki's engine is definitely stronger, more horsepower, there's a different power curve and I am happier with it.

It was one of those races where I could do a comfortable lap time. But when I tried to push a little harder in the last five laps, I couldn't do it.

Troy went past me but he went too deep...I just kept my line and ended up back in front. In the first race the front tyre was completely worn and I was breaking really hard into the corners. We made some changes for the second race. The team really understands me and the kind of rider I am.

I think the race is going to be pretty tight.

The helmet has a slight tyre mark on the back of it, but I didn't lose consciousness and I've hit my head harder just in a normal crash.
