“I can't be satisfied with my result, even though I fought a lot in the race. Unfortunately I struggled a lot in the first laps with the front tire, which got too hot, but when I managed to bring it back to the right temperature I started to set some good times and, in the last part of the race, I was fast. I'm still missing something to get back to racing at the top, but I feel like I'm getting back close to my level at the start of the season. It's clear that we need and want to do more and fortunately Australia is only a week away."
