What a weekend here in Indonesia! The reception upon arrival in Mandalika was really amazing, a flood of cheering fans welcomed us and really made us feel at home. In FP I am doing well and manage to hit direct Q2. In the last run of qualifying I get a good start, then I saw the yellow flags. I get distracted for a moment and … I find myself knocked out …. I quickly get the bike back up, think maybe I’m in time for one last run and guess a great lap. P2!! In the Sprint things didn’t go as I hoped. We were really fast and really close. At the chicane between turns 8 and 9 I had a bump on the bike, an abnormal movement that had already manifested itself during the weekend. Then, when I got to turn 10, I had a problem with the brakes: the pads opened and I had to let go of the lever to brake again, going long to avoid Pecco (Bagnaia). I tried to recover, but unfortunately I couldn’t. The important thing though is that we were there, fighting. I had a different compound from the others, it wasn’t a gamble, but the one I felt best with. For Sunday’s race I was still positive, because I’m driving well and I knew I would have other opportunities. And Sunday’s race was a good battle! I tried until the end, but I was definitely more on the limit than Franco (Morbidelli), who was in front for the whole race in the fighting group. It’s a pity that a technical problem at the start penalized us: the front lowerer didn’t engage three times, so I practically started in reverse of the others. Despite everything, the choice of soft proved to be the right one, allowing me to drive as I wanted and make my race. Even if the podium didn’t come, I’m happy, because battling is always an incredible feeling. And now, head to the next race, with even more motivation!
