“I had a good feeling during the first laps of the race which made me really happy because I struggled in Le Mans. I touched with another rider in turn 4 and I had to go wide so I lost some positions. This was a bit frustrating, but I managed to stay calm and focus on my rhythm, I pushed really hard, showing that the work done during the tests have paid off as I came back really strong and managed to place myself in P9. Unfortunately, when trying to overtake some riders in the first corner I lost three positions. At the end, we finished P11. I am so looking forward to race in Barcelona next week!”
