The exclusive interview.
How great is the disappointment that you do not drive more World Cup?
Of course I 'm disappointed , but what should I do? For me, it was clear that I want to stay with Ducati and it was for this solution. I also like to take a step back to go two forward. I now go though IDM , but if everything comes up, as we imagine it, I 'm in 2015 again in the World Cup. Priority now but that we win the title in the IDM Superbike . The rest must be discussed then .
How badly were you in the plans with integrated BMW ? It was supposed to be a dream-team in the World Superbike Championship with you , BMW and Markus Reiterberger .
At the time I phone a lot and I also listened to everything , like the imagine. If I were still 20 years old , I would have signed immediately.
Can you assess in retrospect , why it was impossible for investors or sponsors for the project MR -Racing to find your last year's World Cup team ?
We have done too little for it. I have done my Best possible , but I 'm just the driver . I had no time to worry about it. We should have put more emphasis on marketing - then we would have determined also managed .
Was the Ducati Panigale last year so bad because the base was not lunged , or because it has worked in the wrong direction ?
The base of the Panigale is not bad. Only the factory engine was not designed so that you can ride it well . The worst part for me was the electronics in conjunction with the engine from the chassis manufactures the bike was not bad.
Was the separation from your care provider Mario Rubatto for good ?
Yes, we have up to now still in contact . There was no bad blood .
Are you bringing staff to 3C ?
I had submitted my wishes .
Why did you , as far as the World Cup , rely on MR Racing and never chat with other World Cup teams ?
Because I've built up a good relationship with Ducati Germany and it was clear to me that if, then with Ducati. I have to think about the future , I have no desire to start with a brand from scratch. Ducati is the brand that is most interesting for me.
What you can offer Ducati , BMW could offer as well .
BMW had chances to make me something and they did not do it .
After your guest start in the IDM at the Sachsenring in 2013 you said that the marketing of you in the IDM is better than the World Cup. Do you see that still the case ?
My IDM victory brought me as the seventh place in the World Championships in Moscow more publicity . In Sport 1 is a summary of the IDM , on the Superbike World Championship is reported irregularly on Euro Sport . In the local press came to my win much more than usual
This is , yes, but the fact that outsiders can not judge that the seventh place in Moscow is worth much more sporty than an IDM victory.
That is so. If the marketing of the World Superbike better, but that would qualify . One sees it, how important is the World Cup in Germany .
When it became clear that you land in the IDM : What was the feedback from the series marketer?
At that time there was no contact .
And how have your personal sponsors responded to the change in the IDM ?
Some give the same amount , others a little less. On the whole, all are included.
