"It's been mega since jumping on the Ducati first time last November. I've just felt at home. Everyone knows how comfortable I've been on it, so it's a shame that the season's over really. I've made it clear that I'd like to continue next year really on the Ducati, but that's not an option. But I'm glad to finally get the weight off my shoulders and get the number one that we set out to do from day one, we can enjoy it now!"
