World Superbike <\/a>debut during testing at Jerez next week, also gave an insight into why he feels the \u2018window is wider\u2019 in SBK.<\/p>\n\u201cI think the saving grace is, honestly, that I have had Superbike experience. Yes, eight years ago, but I still know the fundamentals of what you need to ride one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, a World Superbike is slightly different [from BSB], but, like I said, I’ve learnt so much here.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that World Superbikes is at a low level by any means. It’s a f**king high level. Look at Toprak. The top ten are all real, real fast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think what\u2019s slightly different [is] those bikes aren’t on a knife-edge. Here you’re on a knife-edge with the chassis, being so stiff. The Grand Prix prototype bikes are so different to riding a street bike.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo when people come from here and jump on a Supersport, they excel a lot more because they think, ‘f**k, the window’s so much bigger’. And I think that’s the same in Superbike terms\u2026 it’s a bit more forgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m happy with the decision I’ve made\u201d<\/p>\n
After charging from 17th to seventh in his final Moto2 race, Dixon admitted emotions ran high. But he leaves the paddock proud of what he\u2019s achieved this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the race was obviously sad. Especially when you see people crying – I’m quite an emotional character anyway, so it doesn\u2019t take a lot to set me off! But now I’m all good.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe celebrated with the boys. No one sees the hard work that goes into it. It’s the team’s first year with the Boscoscuro, but we beat the factory team and were the top Boscoscuro in the championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we didn’t get where we wanted to, but we’ve done a really good job in terms of the bike that we had underneath us.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, it’s a bittersweet feeling. I want to stay here, but like I said, I’m happy with the decision I’ve made.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m just going to try to do the best job I can in World Superbike.\u201d<\/p>\n
