“It's never easy to destroy a bike in the morning and then race on another bike with different clutches or other parts. However, considering the events of the morning, we managed to save the result after a bad start in the race. The contact with Johann Zarco is what happens when you start from the middle of the grid, so we know that we have to qualify well and avoid the mistakes made yesterday. Then we recovered quite well in the race, we learned a lot today, I gained experience, so we must be happy with today."
