We come to this GP charged up from the break and from the good feelings riding at Silverstone.
Sachsenring, a track that I have always liked very much and where I find a good feeling right away.
Two slips don’t do much damage.
I finish the first time attack with a very good chrono and enter Q2 directly.
Unfortunately I don’t see (Diggia) after the session, he took a bad hit and is in the hospital.
I see him again with a bandaged shoulder, bad hit, hope he gets better soon
In qualifying I don’t make that step I was hoping for to start in the front rows, but from the third row anything is possible.
For the Sprint I choose to mount the medium and not the soft, thinking that it would be the best choice in view of the long race on Sunday.
In the end, it didn’t go badly: I gathered a lot of useful data for the race, although maybe with the soft I would have been faster.
In the first few corners I found myself all on the inside, and right in front of me Alex (Marquez) crashed.
I lost a few positions, but then I kept a good pace.
Sunday’s race was really exciting!
I had a lot of fun, especially the overtaking on Aleix (Espargaro) and Jack (Miller), which gave me a lot of satisfaction.
I got a good start and pushed right away to get close to the Top5.
I had a very good feeling under braking, thanks also to the work done the day before, and Vale’s advice really helped me.
In the final phase of the race, however, the front tire started to fail, mainly because of the high temperatures, and I had to slow down a bit to preserve the rear tire.
Nevertheless, I really enjoyed myself and finally felt the bike-and now I can’t wait to get back on the track!
