“This weekend started off badly and we weren't in a good place until FP3. We then changed the Misano setting again and the feeling returned. I also have to thank Jack (Miller), in FP4 I followed him and saw where to improve T1. I found the feeling and the good sensations again. On the first attempt I didn't do a perfect lap, then on the second I did a great lap. I risked locking the steering at turns two and six and then at the big bend I was lying down."

“Now there's the unknown of the race, but I'm happy to have straightened out a weekend that started badly, something that I wouldn't have succeeded in the past. I got another pole and in FP4 we had a good pace. At the moment you don't feel I'm stronger than Fabio (Quartararo), there isn't a better or worse rider, in the end we're here to try to be among the fastest. The best driver is the one who is most consistently fast.”
