He also noted that the biggest difference compared to Superbikes was the riding position, but revealed Yamaha already has an update planned to help him in this area.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first, everything was completely different,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot just the motorcycle, everything, the whole paddock. I admit, especially day one in Valencia was strange with everything going on.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe many people and cameras made me a bit nervous on the first ride.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything on the motorcycle itself is different from the Superbike, but the biggest difference is the riding position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s very important to me. We mainly used the first day to find my position on the bike.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe feel for the front wheel and the brakes; there\u2019s still room for improvement there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe only had one motorcycle available and no other parts on the first day. But there will be new parts soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cYamaha will be bringing out modified clip-on handlebars that are a bit higher. Then there are the other things [like] the brakes, the tyres, the acceleration.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn short, everything is different.\u201d<\/p>\n
