“The conditions of this track are certainly not the best for us, and even today we struggled. The lack of grip prevented me from being incisive, I was able to keep in touch with the other riders but not overtake them. It was important to race the entire race to give the engineers as much data as possible, but these are certainly not the positions I like to fight for."

“We knew that this would be a complicated circuit for us, because it highlights one of our weak points: traction when exiting corners. The positive aspect is that I fought against good riders with good bikes and, in some moments, I even managed to overtake them. We are lucky enough to stay here for a day of testing and we will be able to concentrate on grip, perhaps managing to find some solutions that can help us on the next tracks."
