We come to this race weekend with mixed feelings. Since Friday I felt I had a good pace, especially with the used soft tire, but I couldn’t find that right feeling with the new tire. Unfortunately, those usual problems emerged again, which, on a track like this, seem to be even more amplified. Nevertheless, I remain confident: the potential is there and I knew we could make a good step on the next day. The new asphalt was a nice surprise. Although it was a little dirty initially, as is normal, I have to say that it offers very good grip and has definitely improved the track experience. On Saturday, during qualifying, we got very close to our goal. We made good progress and narrowed the gap, but in the last sector I struggled a bit in some places and lost some valuable ground. That was unfortunate, but we got back to work on the data to make the most of the race pace. The start would have been crucial to gain positions. In the SPRINT I start very well, made up a lot of ground, but the fork did not release because the braking was not strong enough. It got stuck until turn 8, I lost a lot of positions then found myself in the group. It was not an easy race, many were not right, many defending, performance-wise it was not great Sunday’s race was another intense battle, but overall, the feelings are positive. Getting a good start was crucial, and I succeeded, immediately finding myself in the wake of the Top5. However, with eight laps to go, I started to feel a drop on the front tire, a problem we had anticipated since Friday and which I tried to manage as best I could. I’m still not 100 percent on the bike, which leads me to put a lot of stress on the front, but I gave everything to get to the finish line in a good position. It’s a shame we couldn’t push until the end, but we keep working hard. Now I can’t wait to get back on track, especially since we have our home GP coming up!
