“I felt pretty good in wet conditions this morning, very comfortable on the bike, risking but without reaching the limit. In the afternoon we worked on our race pace and again found a very good feeling. Historically, Moto3 races here at Phillip Island are very tight, which is why we were focusing more on our work than on a result today”
