It was a really positive Sunday. We tried something different in the warm up and it was much better. I was getting more confidence but of course starting from 23th it is not easy although my start wasn’t bad, in the first few laps I was struggling with the new tyres and I just couldn’t keep the pace compared to the others but I knew that after that I could keep it and I even improved it. I never gave up and I kept pushing to the last corners fighting to get into the points. I went a bit wide and I went out of the track limits. The most important thing is that we had positive feelings and we improved during the whole weekend. I want to thank the guys because we never gave up. Now we are looking forward to the next race in Misano.

Unfortunately, I crashed and I couldn’t finish the race. I tried a little bit too much too early in the race and I lost the front. Sorry to the team, it’s been a disappointing weekend and there isn’t really much to take of it. Now, we go home and refresh, forget about it and we will be back stronger in Misano.
