We arrive in Assen after a long stop and with still the memory of last year’s perfect weekend.
A track that has always exhilarated me, ever since the minor categories.

In Friday FP I struggle, I can’t drive over the difficulties I had in the last races, especially on the time attack and with new tires.
Q2 is not far away I know that the pace to get into the top 2 in Q1 is there and in fact the first run is not bad, then I get caught up and crash.
The second crash of the day, after the one in FP2 which was a big hit.

In the Sprint I try to make a comeback, a few positions I manage to recover but I finish P11.

Sunday we start again, it’s colder, in the warm up I can find a good feeling and a good pace.
I know that with some adjustments to the bike and riding I can put a patch on it.
We get going, I can’t find the right pace, I try to get back on but I lose the front end right away.
I have understeer, the rear pushes and in these situations it is easy to fall.

Too bad, it’s a difficult time, but let’s not give up and keep working to get closer.
