Friday I felt good \u2014 seventh in pre-qualifying, straight into Q2. Then on Saturday something broke in my feeling with the bike. A crash in qualifying, ninth in the Sprint \u2014 I couldn&#8217;t brake hard, I couldn&#8217;t accelerate, I couldn&#8217;t do pretty much anything fast. A weekend of struggle, with no easy explanations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">But what happened in the race put everything else into perspective.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">On lap 12, Acosta&#8217;s KTM lost power on the straight. Alex Marquez didn&#8217;t even have time to react. The impact was violent \u2014 one of those crashes that sends a chill through you. Red flag. Alex was taken to hospital, conscious. Diggia stayed on track with his left hand injured by debris and rode all the way to the end \u2014 and won. Chapeau.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">At the second restart, Turn 1, Zarco lost the front and triggered a pile-up. I saw it up close. He got trapped under the bikes. Second red flag. Johann taken to hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">At the third start I tried to manage as best I could in a difficult tyre situation, I also had a problem with the brake lever and ran wide a couple of times. Fourth place in the end, after the penalties to others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The standings say +15 over Jorge. Points-wise it went well. But honestly \u2014 the important thing is that Alex and Johann are okay. Everything else \u2014 the points, the standings, the missed overtakes \u2014 takes a back seat. We were lucky. That&#8217;s the thought I carried back to the box, and the one I&#8217;m closing this weekend with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">In two weeks it&#8217;s Mugello. Home. I can&#8217;t wait to get back there, also because this weekend left a bitter taste on the performance side and I want to make up for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">But first of all \u2014 get well soon Alex, get well soon Johann.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n

It isn&#8217;t. The gaps are always razor-thin, there are very few points where you can make a real difference, and the weather always plays its part. I arrived with a lot of motivation \u2014 and I was motivated \u2014 but from Friday I could tell it wasn&#8217;t going to be an easy weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Seventh in pre-qualifying. Into Q2 in the final minutes, but I wasn&#8217;t feeling right. Working on my riding, sorting out details, trying to adapt. Step by step.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Saturday, a surprise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I wasn&#8217;t expecting to be that competitive in the Sprint, given the previous Saturdays. Third place \u2014 hard-fought, always in the mix, but third. An unexpected result that gave us confidence for Sunday. Then came the rain in the forecast and we didn&#8217;t really know what to expect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">After the morning rain, we started in dry conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Good start, I took the lead. And that&#8217;s when the strangest race of my season began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I wasn&#8217;t fast. Pace-wise I wasn&#8217;t lapping the way I wanted. But I was at the front, and every lap I tried to patch things up \u2014 pushing the bike harder than usual, leaning on the front when the rear started to drop off. That&#8217;s what you do when you&#8217;re not at your best: you manage, you hang on, you don&#8217;t give up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I saw Jorge pass Acosta. I knew he was coming. I gave one last push, but it wasn&#8217;t enough \u2014 the grip was running out, first the rear, then the front too. Three laps from the end, he got past me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">It stings. I won&#8217;t pretend it doesn&#8217;t. Being out front for so many laps and getting overtaken that close to the flag always leaves something inside you. But honestly \u2014 I don&#8217;t even know how I managed to stay ahead for that long with the pace I had. In the end it was the maximum I could do this weekend, and I have to be happy with that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Second place. First in the championship, one point ahead of Jorge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">An all-Aprilia podium \u2014 the first in the manufacturer&#8217;s history. Ogura third, his first MotoGP podium. A special moment, one to share.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The championship is really tight now, and it&#8217;s getting serious. Barcelona is just a few days away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">See you there.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n

On the soft some old problems came back, but there was still margin to work with. That was fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Saturday was a bad day, and not through any fault of our own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Wet qualifying, fourth on the grid. Then the Sprint: at the start a tear-off got stuck under my bike. I released the clutch and the tyre spun on top of it \u2014 I lost I don&#8217;t know how many positions in a second. I was fighting back, recovering, then the rain came. I pitted a lap late, came back out on rain tyres, and crashed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">There&#8217;s not much to say about situations like that. It happens. Not much you can do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Sunday is a different day, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I wasn&#8217;t feeling great physically, I have to admit. Something that stayed with me all weekend and that I tried to manage without letting it get to me. But at the start something clicked \u2014 a great launch, I recovered two positions into the first corners, and found myself chasing Alex and Marc Marquez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">In the early laps I tried to stay with them \u2014 I knew they were fast. On lap 2 Marc made a mistake at Turn 11 and I moved up to second. Alex was ahead, and in those fast, flowing sectors \u2014 three and four \u2014 he simply had more. I made a mistake at Turn 1 mid-race, he pulled away, and that&#8217;s when I knew the win wasn&#8217;t on today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I managed the rest of the race keeping Diggia behind me. Second place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">That&#8217;s fine \u2014 Alex was just stronger today. I gave everything I had on a weekend where we struggled more than usual.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I&#8217;m happy with how it went. And tomorrow there&#8217;s an important test. Back to work.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"container-fluid nopadding\">\n

class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">A tough track, technical, full of bumps and direction changes that never give you a moment&#8217;s rest. It&#8217;s not a track where you can hide \u2014 either you&#8217;re there or you&#8217;re not. And for years I couldn&#8217;t finish the way I wanted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Friday was decent \u2014 fourth in pre-qualifying, good pace, but on the soft the bike was still nervous and in time attack I was struggling to keep it together. Nothing dramatic, but there was still something to find.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Saturday started well and ended badly. P2 in qualifying, then the Sprint. Bad start but I&#8217;d managed to recover positions with some good overtakes. I was second, got carried away and fell. My mistake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I was pretty down after. Not physically \u2014 thankfully. But when you make a mistake like that, in a race you were controlling, it stings. The team was right there with me, and that means a lot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Sunday is a different day, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Good warm-up. Starting from fourth. On lap one I attacked Acosta at Turn 11, there was contact on the exit \u2014 the wind was pushing hard, I saw him go wide, I tried to get through and we touched. I broke something on the rear of the bike, I didn&#8217;t know it at the time, but it was still running. Luckily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">From that moment on: head down and push.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Every lap, the same rhythm. Manage when it was time to manage, attack when it was time to attack. Jorge closed in at the end, I felt him, but I had something left and pulled away a bit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Chequered flag. First. With Martin second, another Aprilia one-two.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">When they told me about the record \u2014 121 consecutive laps in the lead, more than Lorenzo \u2014 I didn&#8217;t even know what to say. I wasn&#8217;t thinking about it. I never think about those things when I&#8217;m racing. I think about the next corner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I&#8217;d been dreaming for a long time of a proper race here in Austin. It took a while, but it finally came.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Now a long break \u2014 Qatar has been postponed. We restart in Jerez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Time to

Twentieth. In the rain, no feeling, a bike I couldn&#8217;t figure out and a track I&#8217;d never seen before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">It&#8217;s not easy to handle moments like that \u2014 the only thing we know how to do is work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Me and the team stayed up late into the night going through the data, trying to find the right setup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">And already in Saturday&#8217;s FP2 something changed. You could see the work paying off, and on my side too I got a better feel for how to read the track.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">We got through Q1, found our rhythm, and ended up on the front row. Second on the grid. From twentieth to second. In one day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The Sprint was so-so \u2014 Jorge got past me mid-race and I couldn&#8217;t answer back. Fourth. Fair enough, and I knew it. Race pace-wise there was still something missing, but I could feel we were heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Sunday morning I woke up with a different feeling. The warm-up gave me good sensations and Vale&#8217;s message gave me an extra boost. I knew I could really go for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Eight fewer laps \u2014 I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s better or worse, but the strategy definitely changed. Push hard from the start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Good start, first corner in the lead, I had to break away. Every lap I felt it. I pushed when I had to push, I managed when I had to manage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">When I saw the chequered flag I thought about a lot of things. About my team, who turned a Friday to forget into a victory. About this strange and wonderful circuit, about the Brazilian crowd \u2014 something truly unique. About Jorge, who finished second: an Aprilia one-two, the first in the manufacturer&#8217;s MotoGP history. That&#8217;s something big.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">And I thought about Roberto Lunadei. Roberto was one of those people you find alongside you in paddock life and never think could be gone. Last week he left us. This victory is his and his family&#8217;s. He was there with me today, I&#8217;m sure of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Next week, Austin. Another track, another story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Can&#8217;t

that tests you straight away.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"166\" data-end=\"339\">The Chang International Circuit gives nothing away. If conditions were perfect during testing, race weekend is a whole different story \u2014 everything becomes more complicated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"341\" data-end=\"473\">From FP1 we showed that the potential was there. Direct access to Q2 in first place, pole position, strong pace, a positive feeling.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"475\" data-end=\"632\">Then in the Sprint, a small mistake that cost me dearly: when you\u2019re always on the limit, there\u2019s a very thin line between being a genius and being an idiot.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"634\" data-end=\"930\">I was disappointed, no point hiding it. But deep down I knew one thing: that mistake would serve me well. In Sunday morning warm-up I was arriving at that corner on the limit every time and taking too many risks. I told myself, \u201cMarco, wait, take a breath, otherwise we\u2019ll do damage again today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"932\" data-end=\"996\">For the race I felt fired up and fully focused. Very good start.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1145\">Straight into the lead. My Alba Rosa was fantastic: traction, stability, clean response every time. A bike that gives you confidence lap after lap.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1250\">I set myself a simple rule: push when needed, manage when it matters. No unnecessary rush. No mistakes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1376\">From that moment on, it was a race built meter by meter. Leading from the first lap, consistent pace, maximum concentration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1477\">After Saturday\u2019s disappointment, it was the response I wanted to give to myself before anyone else.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1550\">The championship is very long. But starting like this gives you energy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1643\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">And above all, it reminds you that sometimes the difference comes

data-end=\"239\">a little bet<\/strong> I was determined to win.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"266\" data-end=\"408\">The weekend got off to a great start, both in <strong data-start=\"312\" data-end=\"329\">Free Practice<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"334\" data-end=\"348\">qualifying<\/strong>, where I managed to take <strong data-start=\"374\" data-end=\"391\">POLE POSITION<\/strong>. What a feeling!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"410\" data-end=\"707\">In the <strong data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"427\">Sprint<\/strong>, I got a good launch, but in the first few corners <strong data-start=\"479\" data-end=\"517\">something felt off on acceleration<\/strong>, and I had to give up two positions.<br data-start=\"554\" data-end=\"557\" \/>I tried to catch <strong data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"592\">Alex (Marquez)<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"615\">Pedro (Acosta)<\/strong>, but I was really on the limit, and that little issue in corner exit came back a few times.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"812\">Still, a solid <strong data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"734\">podium<\/strong>, but we had to get back to work to fine-tune the bike for Sunday\u2019s full race.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"868\">And on <strong data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"831\">Sunday<\/strong>, my <strong data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"848\">AlbaRosa<\/strong> didn\u2019t let me down\u2026<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"1019\"><strong data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"909\">Led every lap from start to finish.<\/strong><br data-start=\"909\" data-end=\"912\" \/>And when I saw the checkered flag, I knew I had <strong data-start=\"960\" data-end=\"974\">won my bet<\/strong> \u2014 I\u2019d get to take <strong data-start=\"993\" data-end=\"1005\">AlbaRosa<\/strong> home with me.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1021\" data-end=\"1138\">But first\u2026 it only felt right to <strong data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1074\">ask for her hand<\/strong>. Manners first!<br data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1093\" \/>She said <strong data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1109\">yes<\/strong>, and the celebrations began.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1376\">Total chaos in the box \u2014 then a quick clean-up, and it was time for the <strong data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1234\">end-of-season gala<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1238\" \/>I walked the <strong data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1286\">red carpet with my whole family<\/strong>, and it was truly emotional.

data-start=\"195\" data-end=\"212\">Pole position<\/strong>, a <strong data-start=\"216\" data-end=\"240\">podium in the Sprint<\/strong>, and a <strong data-start=\"248\" data-end=\"260\">race win<\/strong> on Sunday\u2026 honestly, it couldn\u2019t have gone any better.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"317\" data-end=\"604\">It started as one of those weekends with <strong data-start=\"358\" data-end=\"381\">a lot of work to do<\/strong> \u2014 we really had to dig deep to get the setup dialed in for Sunday.<br data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"451\" \/>After Saturday\u2019s Sprint, we understood exactly where we could improve \u2014 nothing huge, just <strong data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"586\">small changes that made a big difference<\/strong> where it counted.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"825\">On Sunday morning, in warm-up, it was clear: <strong data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"680\">we were on the right path<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"684\" \/>On Saturday I wasn\u2019t able to really fight with Alex (Marquez) and Pedro (Acosta), but I knew that over race distance, I\u2019d have a proper shot.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"980\">I got a great start \u2014 and finally, in both the Sprint and the main race, I managed to <strong data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"936\">hold on to the pole<\/strong> off the line, which made everything easier.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"1215\">The pace was super high. I tried to open a gap.<br data-start=\"1029\" data-end=\"1032\" \/>I had to manage the tyres, but I didn\u2019t really think about it \u2014 I just <strong data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1124\">pushed to the max<\/strong>, trying to stay smooth.<br data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1151\" \/>I pulled away from Alex, but I kept the pace strong all the way.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1361\">Final corners\u2026 and then <strong data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1270\">the celebrations exploded<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1274\" \/>In parc ferm\u00e9 I ended up <strong data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1331\">flying over the Aprilia crew<\/strong> \u2014 what an incredible feeling.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1363\" data-end=\"1554\">The party keeps going, but soon it\u2019s time to focus again \u2014 the final round in <strong data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1453\">Valencia<\/strong> is coming up fast.<br data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1475\" \/>We just

race<\/strong>, where I gave everything \u2014 but just couldn\u2019t perform as I hoped.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"975\">But honestly, on Sunday, <strong data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"974\">the race wasn\u2019t the most important thing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1199\">When you see two riders <strong data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1031\">airlifted out of the track<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1067\">you don\u2019t know how they are<\/strong>, it\u2019s really hard to focus and put your helmet back on.<br data-start=\"1123\" data-end=\"1126\" \/>This is our job \u2014 sometimes it\u2019s pure joy, other times it\u2019s really tough.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1376\">So, once the race was over, I could only think about what <strong data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1287\">really matters right now<\/strong>:<br data-start=\"1288\" data-end=\"1291\" \/>that <strong data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1312\">Jos\u00e9 (Rueda)<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1337\">Noah (Dettwiler)<\/strong> can come back to us <strong data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1375\">soon and

data-start=\"227\" data-end=\"328\">We started off on the right foot in <strong data-start=\"263\" data-end=\"280\">Free Practice<\/strong>, and just <strong data-start=\"291\" data-end=\"313\">missed out on pole<\/strong> in qualifying.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"330\" data-end=\"823\">In the <strong data-start=\"337\" data-end=\"347\">Sprint<\/strong>, I got off to a decent start \u2014 in the opening corners I passed a couple of riders and found myself chasing <strong data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"468\">Fernandez<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"472\" \/>It wasn\u2019t easy to stay with him \u2014 he was flying.<br data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"523\" \/>At my first attempt to overtake, I went a bit wide, but after a few laps I closed the gap and finally managed to pass him.<br data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"648\" \/><strong data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"654\">P1<\/strong>, my <strong data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"692\">fourth Sprint podium in a row<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"696\" \/>The feeling was great, and I knew I could have a strong race on Sunday \u2014 <strong data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"807\">despite the two long lap penalties<\/strong> I had to serve.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"1099\">During FP I practiced the long laps \u2014 they\u2019re tricky, really tight, and I knew they\u2019d cost me <strong data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"947\">over two seconds per lap<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"951\" \/>So the strategy was simple: <strong data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"1000\">get a great start<\/strong>, push hard in the first laps, and try to build a small gap to avoid getting swallowed by the pack.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1300\"><strong data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1126\">I got a great launch.<\/strong><br data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1129\" \/>I managed to serve the first long lap while <strong data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1211\">still staying with the front group<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1215\" \/>The second one dropped me back a bit, but I had the time \u2014 and the pace \u2014 to recover.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1518\">I climbed back to <strong data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1326\">P4<\/strong>, which honestly felt like the best I could do.<br data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1376\" \/>But then I saw <strong data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1407\">Alex Marquez<\/strong> ahead, less than two seconds away, clearly struggling.<br data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1465\" \/>I gave it everything, caught him, <strong data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1517\">and passed him<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1560\"><strong data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1560\">A podium that really tastes amazing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1693\">I\u2019m fired up for <strong data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1591\">Malaysia<\/strong> now \u2014 and I just hope I can keep riding like this, because I\u2019m honestly <strong data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1692\">having an absolute blast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n

data-end=\"371\">It\u2019s hard to talk about the weekend in Indonesia after Sunday\u2019s crash.<br data-start=\"205\" data-end=\"208\" \/>Because up until that moment, <strong data-start=\"238\" data-end=\"273\">everything had gone really well<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"277\" \/>I had an incredible pace that took me to <strong data-start=\"318\" data-end=\"335\">pole position<\/strong> and a win in <strong data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"370\">Saturday\u2019s Sprint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"373\" data-end=\"551\">Despite a bad start that dropped me back to <strong data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"423\">P8<\/strong>, I fought my way up and passed <strong data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"476\">Ferm\u00edn (Aldeguer)<\/strong> on the final lap \u2014 in what was probably the <strong data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"550\">best Sprint of the season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"875\">On Sunday, I was fired up.<br data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"582\" \/>I had the pace to <strong data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"621\">fight for the win<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"625\" \/>But I got off to a poor start and immediately got stuck in the pack.<br data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"696\" \/>We reached <strong data-start=\"707\" data-end=\"719\">Sector 2<\/strong> \u2014 the one where I\u2019m usually really strong\u2026<br data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"765\" \/><strong data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"785\">Maybe too strong<\/strong>, because suddenly I found <strong data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"832\">Marc\u2019s (Marquez)<\/strong> rear wheel in front of me \u2014 and I hit him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"956\">We both ran off the track.<br data-start=\"903\" data-end=\"906\" \/>He went down immediately, I crashed shortly after.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1187\">It was a <strong data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"981\">nasty fall<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"985\" \/>I went to check on him right away and realized <strong data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1056\">something was broken<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1060\" \/>I apologized \u2014 it was <strong data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1096\">my mistake<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1100\" \/>These are things that can happen in racing\u2026 unfortunately, this time it happened to me.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1324\">It was definitely a <strong data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1221\">big blow<\/strong>, not just mentally, but physically too \u2014 a hit that added to the ones I took back in the Japan Sprint.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1535\">Now I\u2019ve got <strong data-start=\"1339\" data-end=\"1363\">two weeks to recover<\/strong> before Phillip Island.<br data-start=\"1386\" data-end=\"1389\" \/>The <strong data-start=\"1393\" data-end=\"1451\">fight for third in the championship is still wide open<\/strong>, and I know that if I can shake off these knocks, I\u2019ll be really competitive again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1648\">And for sure, <strong data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1578\">the fire to bounce back<\/strong> \u2014 learning from this episode and growing from it \u2014 <strong data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1647\">is 100% there<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1650\"

class=\"col-md-12\">\n                        <p data-start=\"161\" data-end=\"453\">The Japan weekend kicked off the Asian tour, and we came into it <strong data-start=\"226\" data-end=\"244\">full of energy<\/strong> after Misano, knowing we could really fight until the very end.<br data-start=\"308\" data-end=\"311\" \/>Physically and mentally I was feeling great, and the days leading up to the first throttle twist flew by between all the pre-race commitments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"668\"><strong data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"492\">Free Practice started with a bang<\/strong> \u2014 literally. I crashed twice and did a fair bit of damage to the bike.<br data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"566\" \/>But in pre-qualifying I bounced back, rode fast, and <strong data-start=\"619\" data-end=\"668\">topped the timesheets to go straight into Q2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"945\">Saturday started off a bit rough\u2026 and ended worse.<br data-start=\"720\" data-end=\"723\" \/>In Q2 I couldn\u2019t push the way I wanted, and in the end, I had to <strong data-start=\"788\" data-end=\"805\">start from P9<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"809\" \/>Motegi isn\u2019t exactly the easiest place to recover, especially in the Sprint \u2014 but I knew I had to try.<br data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"914\" \/><strong data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"945\">It just lasted ten seconds.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"1360\">Right after the start, in Turn 1, I was <strong data-start=\"987\" data-end=\"1012\">launched into the air<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1016\" \/>I didn\u2019t even understand what had happened.<br data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1062\" \/>In the gravel, I saw <strong data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1107\">Mart\u00edn on the ground<\/strong>\u2026<br data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1111\" \/>He was holding his shoulder \u2014 turns out he ended up with a fracture.<br data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1182\" \/>I was lucky \u2014 <strong data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1214\">nothing broken<\/strong> \u2014 and I made it back to the box, but I took a couple of solid knocks.<br data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1287\" \/>Didn\u2019t feel them right away, but once things cooled down\u2026 yeah, they hit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1710\">Sunday morning, I woke up <strong data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1408\">pretty banged up<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1409\" data-end=\"1412\" \/>But then the race adrenaline kicked in, and the pain faded.<br data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1474\" \/>I got off to a good start, held position, and <strong data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1543\">started my comeback<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1547\" \/>After a few laps I was already in <strong data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1587\">P5<\/strong>, right behind <strong data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1624\">Morbidelli and Mir<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1625\" data-end=\"1628\" \/>I worked to get past them, made it into <strong data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1674\">P4<\/strong>, but Mir had built up a decent gap.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1819\">I gave everything I had \u2014 <strong data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"1757\">maybe even more<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"1761\" \/>I know full well that saving energy isn\u2019t really my thing\u2026<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1986\">In the end, I brought home <strong data-start=\"1848\" data-end=\"1866\">a solid result<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1867\" data-end=\"1870\" \/>Based on our pre-race expectations, it wasn\u2019t exactly the goal\u2026<br data-start=\"1933\" data-end=\"1936\" \/>but given how things played out \u2014 yeah, it\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2161\">And honestly, looking back at Saturday\u2019s crash, it\u2019s already something that <strong data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2104\">I walked away with just some bruises<\/strong> \u2014 and Mart\u00edn with a fracture.<br data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2137\" \/><strong data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2161\">Could\u2019ve gone worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2163\" data-end=\"2208\">Now it\u2019s on to <strong data-start=\"2178\" data-end=\"2208\">MANDALIKA \u2014 full

form.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"218\" data-end=\"374\">The track was new for everyone, and for us it brought some doubts \u2014 it was super twisty, and without any references, we honestly didn\u2019t know what to expect.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"376\" data-end=\"642\">In the first laps, the feeling was good, but in Free Practice we didn\u2019t manage to get into Q2.<br data-start=\"470\" data-end=\"473\" \/>Which, in a way, wasn\u2019t all bad \u2014 it gave us more track time by going through Q1.<br data-start=\"554\" data-end=\"557\" \/>But let\u2019s be honest: going through Q1 is always a pain \u2014 only two spots up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"781\">Like in Austria, we didn\u2019t just make it out of Q1 \u2014 we grabbed a <strong data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"722\">front row<\/strong> start.<br data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"732\" \/>And on a track like this, that\u2019s a big advantage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"783\" data-end=\"1054\">In the Sprint, I got caught up at Turn 1 \u2014 a lot of chaos, a couple of crashes, but luckily I stayed upright.<br data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"895\" \/>I lost positions, fought my way back, and finished <strong data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"952\">P4<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"956\" \/>I knew our race pace was a bit behind Ducati and KTM, but it gave me confidence going into Sunday.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1722\">On race day, I got off the line well and held the lead \u2014 but at Turn 2, I couldn\u2019t carry enough speed and felt someone touch me from behind.<br data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1199\" \/>Small damage, one wing flew off \u2014 but nothing too serious.<br data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1260\" \/>I held on to the lead.<br data-start=\"1282\" data-end=\"1285\" \/>I had chosen the <strong data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1310\">soft<\/strong> tyres to get more grip (I just didn\u2019t feel comfortable with the mediums), but <strong data-start=\"1389\" data-end=\"1407\">Marc (Marquez)<\/strong> was charging.<br data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1424\" \/>He passed me, I passed him back, and we had a real fight.<br data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1484\" \/>In the end, I lost the lead, tried to keep a solid rhythm, but <strong data-start=\"1547\" data-end=\"1557\">Acosta<\/strong> came through with a stronger pace.<br data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1595\" \/>I gave everything to hold onto <strong data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1632\">P3<\/strong>, and crossed the line \u2014 as usual \u2014 <strong data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1692\">exhausted, but happy<\/strong> that I left it all out there.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1724\" data-end=\"1908\">It wasn\u2019t easy to stay on the podium here.<br data-start=\"1766\" data-end=\"1769\" \/>Now we head to tracks where we can really show our full potential.<br data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"1838\" \/><strong data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"1908\">We\u2019re on the right path \u2014 and honestly, we\u2019re having a lot of fun.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1910\" data-end=\"1934\"><strong data-start=\"1910\"

data-end=\"260\">pole<\/strong>, then finish <strong data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"294\">P4 in the Sprint<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"328\">on the podium in the race<\/strong>, I\u2019d have said they were crazy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"362\" data-end=\"764\">I knew that P18 in the afternoon was mostly down to a few issues that stopped us from doing a proper time attack \u2014 the base was there, but I also knew that <strong data-start=\"518\" data-end=\"563\">Austria has always been tough for Aprilia<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"567\" \/>We got our heads down and worked late into the evening.<br data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"625\" \/>And I\u2019ve got to thank <strong data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"663\">Vale (Rossi)<\/strong> too \u2014 he gave me a lot of advice and helped me find the right direction. That made a big difference.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"1075\">On Saturday I went well in Q1, and then in Q2 I nailed <strong data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"846\">an almost perfect lap<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"850\" \/><strong data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"868\">Pole position!<\/strong><br data-start=\"868\" data-end=\"871\" \/>Totally unexpected, especially considering that qualifying has always been a bit of a weak point for us.<br data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"978\" \/>But we\u2019ve been working hard on it in the last few races, and <strong data-start=\"1039\" data-end=\"1074\">the results are finally showing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1340\">I knew I\u2019d struggle a bit in the Sprint to keep up with the Ducati pace.<br data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1152\" \/>I fought for the podium, but I couldn\u2019t quite catch Acosta on the KTM and finished <strong data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1241\">P4<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1245\" \/>Still happy, especially because I was fast in the warm-up and felt confident going into Sunday.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1390\">Race day: leading early, then the real fight<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1392\" data-end=\"1741\">Lights out. I take the lead, pushing hard \u2014 <strong data-start=\"1436\" data-end=\"1460\">the bike feels great<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1464\" \/>I manage to keep Marc (Marquez) about half a second behind me, but then I run into a small issue and he catches up.<br data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1582\" \/>I fight back, retake the lead for a moment \u2014 proper battle.<br data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1644\" \/>Then he gets back in front, and I can\u2019t stick with his pace \u2014 he had that little something extra.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1885\">Then <strong data-start=\"1748\" data-end=\"1769\">Ferm\u00edn (Aldeguer)<\/strong> arrives like a rocket and passes me.<br data-start=\"1806\" data-end=\"1809\" \/>I hold onto <strong data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1836\">third place<\/strong> and bring it home. <strong data-start=\"1856\" data-end=\"1885\">Great race, great podium.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"2066\">People told me not to expect too much here in Austria, because Aprilia has historically struggled on this track.<br data-start=\"1999\" data-end=\"2002\" \/>Well\u2026 I\u2019d say it <strong data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2065\">turned out way better than anyone expected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2068\" data-end=\"2317\">I\u2019m happy, especially because <strong data-start=\"2098\" data-end=\"2147\">we bounced back strong after the summer break<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"2148\" data-end=\"2151\" \/>And now we go straight into the next one: <strong data-start=\"2193\" data-end=\"2233\">next weekend we\u2019re racing in Hungary<\/strong>, a brand-new track for all of us.<br data-start=\"2267\" data-end=\"2270\" \/>Honestly, no one really knows what to

grandstands, just makes you want to give even more.<br data-start=\"326\" data-end=\"329\" \/>It\u2019s a track I really like \u2014 long, flowing, and so much fun to ride.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"399\" data-end=\"505\">A weekend where <strong data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"445\">we pushed hard, took risks<\/strong>, and brought home a <strong data-start=\"466\" data-end=\"504\">podium that really means something<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"657\">From the very first lap in FP, the bike felt like <strong data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"565\">mine<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"569\" \/>The team did an incredible job, and we were immediately comfortable \u2014 in all conditions.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"706\">Qualifying: making steps in time attack too<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"886\">You could see the improvement even in the single lap pace.<br data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"769\" \/>In Q2, despite a small crash, I still managed to qualify P4.<br data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"832\" \/><strong data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"886\">Second row \u2014 and from there, anything is possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"939\">Sprint: contact and damage, but we held strong!<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"1322\">In the Sprint I had a good start, held position, and started closing in on the front group.<br data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1035\" \/>Quartararo was just ahead of me \u2014 I locked onto him.<br data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1090\" \/>At one point he left a small gap on the inside and I dove in.<br data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1154\" \/>As he came back onto the line, we touched \u2014 the front wings flew off, and from that moment on, the bike was hard to control.<br data-start=\"1278\" data-end=\"1281\" \/><strong data-start=\"1281\" data-end=\"1322\">But I dug deep and still finished P4.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1379\">Sunday race: killer start, then a fight to the flag<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1562\">Even in warm-up I could feel we had a good pace.<br data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1432\" \/>Then in the race \u2014 I really had fun.<br data-start=\"1468\" data-end=\"1471\" \/><strong data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1499\">The first lap was insane<\/strong> \u2014 late braking, tight passes \u2014 and I found myself in the lead.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1741\">I held on for a few laps, then I saw Marc (Marquez) closing the gap.<br data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1635\" \/>He passed me. I tried to stay with him \u2014 in some sections I managed, in others he just had a little extra.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1933\">Then Acosta came up from behind. I had to fight to hold onto second.<br data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"1814\" \/>In the final laps I was able to push hard, pull a gap, and <strong data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"1897\">cross the line in P2<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1898\" data-end=\"1901\" \/><strong data-start=\"1901\" data-end=\"1933\">What a race. What a weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1935\" data-end=\"1968\">Time to unplug\u2026 just a little<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"2245\">The celebrations have started, and it feels great to enjoy this moment with the whole team.<br data-start=\"2061\" data-end=\"2064\" \/>Now we\u2019ve got the summer break \u2014 time to recharge the batteries for a few days.<br data-start=\"2143\" data-end=\"2146\" \/>Then it\u2019s back to work, head down, because we\u2019re back on track in August.<br data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2222\" \/><strong data-start=\"2222\" data-end=\"2245\">Next stop: Austria!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2247\" data-end=\"2261\">See you there!<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n
