“To start the weekend on top is always good news. This weekend is the perfect opportunity to make amends for the mistakes we made two weeks ago, learning from them so we don’t make them again. We are starting from a good base, which will help us to work towards the right direction, but we still need to figure out some things I’m trying to understand better about our race performance”

“I’m really happy! The feeling has been great from the beginning, but it’s true that today I felt it was a bit more difficult in comparison to the previous weekend here in Misano. I think it was due to the track conditions, which caused a lack of grip. However, I felt as comfortable with the bike as I did two weeks ago, and we already have a great base from which to build on this weekend!”
