We close the Le Mans weekend with a double crash, in the SPRINT and Sunday’s race.
Too bad, in the sprint I felt really good, everything was under control.
I had a great pace, Jorge (Martin ed.) was closer and I could see that Marc (Marquez ed.) was coming from behind and I tried to push to open the gap a little bit and have margin for the last laps.
I made a mistake in Turn 9 and couldn’t recover.
On Sunday, the start was a bit tricky, the bike wheelies a lot then I started to recover.
However, as soon as I opened the throttle I lost the front end.
It’s a kind of feeling I’ve had since the beginning of the season and we have to work on it.
I don’t think I could have kept up with Jorge (Martin ndr) and Pecco (Bagnaia ndr), but maybe Enea (Bastianini ndr) and Maverick (Viñales ndr) yes.
I was fighting just with Enea when in an overtaking/counter-overtaking I could not do anything to avoid the fall.
The driving sensations were good, the Top5 was possible.
Logical that a double fall is not easy to digest but yes for sure we are back competitive and this gives us confidence for Barcelona
We analyze the data and try again in Barcelona.
