Romano Fenati: “This is a team with which I am sure I will be happy. I realized during the tests and on the 2016 Honda, I was immediately at ease. The first few laps I must confess though I’m ashamed to admit, it was hard to get used to the speed! That is, I felt like I had my mum sitting at my side saying “slow down!” but then, lap after lap, I regained security and I got back into it. During the winter I did some special training to strengthen my shoulders, arms and back: I shoveled tons of snow. I’m from Ascoli and between earthquakes and incredible snowfall I haven’t stopped; in my small way, I have tried to help those more in need than me. As for my opponents this year, I think it will be a fight between Italians. Bastianini is definitely in better shape but also Bulega and Di Giannantonio have grown a lot and will be there to fight to win. Then there will be the underdogs, the ones you do not expect. Let’s see who it will be this year.”
