“From the beginning of the day I felt very good on the bike, even though the track conditions were tricky this morning. In the afternoon things went well, improving as I gained more and more confidence. Every time we go out on track we learn something new, and I’m very happy, because our progress is constant. We are still working on some details, but I feel strong towards tomorrow!”

David Almansa

3rd

“It was hard not to be able to race at Silverstone, but the important thing is that we have arrived at Aragón recovered. Today we tested the feeling on the bike, focusing on having everything in the same place we left it, and it went well, I felt good. I still have to be careful when it comes to the left-hand corners, but we are getting that feeling back step by step. I’m very happy to be back with my team and my bike!”
