“Today's race was a shame, we started in dry conditions, but there were a few patches of water left on the track. We were at the limit with the slicks and it wasn't easy to understand where the stains were with the helmet on. I fell almost immediately after the start, I lost the wings of the bike, and I really struggled to get to the finish line. Having taken away the crash and then the penalty, I can still be happy with the qualifying, we're there. At the start I could have been more careful, I didn't brake enough at the first corner, the device didn't disengage and I lost ground in the first sector. For tomorrow I feel good, we can have a good race.”
