No. Honestly, I’ll be the first one to not
lie. I don’t lie about stuff going on.
This paddock’s full of people keeping
silent, lying, saying they’re doing this
and then not doing it or vice versa.
Have we spoken? Of course. But I’ve
spoken to Honda about me riding a
Honda, not about anything else. At
the end of the day, I want to stay with
a manufacturer if I can stay with a
manufacturer, if the deal is right for
me to stay.
I think we’ve got to wait for things to
happen, and then I’ll start to negotiate
as and when really. I know most
people always say the same. They’re
not really thinking about it. They’re
concentrating on the racing and blah,
blah, blah. But at the moment, I’ve
got nothing else to do. I might as well
concentrate on the racing, because
I’ve got to wait for a few things to
happen or not happen. But in the
moment I’m happy and I’ll just keep
riding and doing what I can and giving
Honda the data and information and
see what happens from there.
So you wouldn’t be against moving
to another manufacturer if the deal
was right? Going back to Yamaha
or Ducati for example? Is your
preference to stay with Honda?
