We arrive at Silverstone energized by the summer break and the knowledge that we have regained a good feeling with the bike.
I was looking forward to getting back on track.
On Friday we manage to hit Q2.
We had several technical problems that prevented us from working well on race pace.
Very complicated qualifying, traffic and yellow flags forced me to a P12 definitely below expectations.

In the SPRINT I start well but I am on the ground in the first corner.
Frank (Morbidelli) hits me in the middle, big blow to the foot, I go to the medical center for checks luckily no fracture but the pain is really bad.
On Sunday I try in the warm up without pain, I know it will be really tough in the race.
Race where all the riders sport liveries dedicated to the 75th anniversary of motoGP.
Ours is dedicated to Vale, the bikes are really spectacular.

Start.
Although I manage to keep a good pace and close in P8 the last laps were a real ordeal, with my leg completely anesthetized.
The feeling was good in the race, this the positive note that we take to the next GP.

Time to give the foot a tune-up and back!
