It was a really good weekend in Barcelona. We made a really good qualifying and we were focused on the race pace. I think it paid off even it wasn’t enough to get the podium. I made a good start today. I was in third position for ten or twelve laps. The last eight laps were really tough, I didn’t have anything else to give because I was so on the limit. In the end, I dropped a little bit but like I said we are learning, I’m learning. It’s new for me to be in the front but it’s amazing. The team did a great job. They gave me a fantastic bike, inside the box is always motivation. It’s a great group of people that allows me to show all my potential and this is where I’m the happiest. Now it’s time to enjoy the moment and looking forward to the next one.

A little step forward today. Little bit lucky for sure with P15 but one point is better than nothing. I think it’s important to see the positive side, we made some steps forward this weekend. Of course we are not where we should be but we are moving forward. I think it was one of the best weekends we have done so far this season. Let’s keep on going and we focus now on the next race in Sachsenring.

I am quite happy with how we finished the weekend, especially considering how we started. On the second lap of the race, I made a mistake that almost caused me to crash and made me lose a lot of time. I was able to stay focused and made few mistakes during the race. I was able to maintain a good pace. I went back and, although I thought the group was leaving, after five or seven laps I saw them all the time until the end of the race keeping the same gap. I think that our mistake this weekend was not getting good results on Friday. As I started to go much faster in the race there were other problems with the bike that we haven’t identified before. We’ve gotten the best considering how we started. My pace has been like the group that finished in P19, I’m happy about that. Now I know what I have to focus on and how to work every weekend.
