“If we look at the clock, today was not a bad day because seventh place is more or less our position here, like Misano 1. But it's true that I wasn't able to take advantage of the situation and I could. In Q2 the bike first tried to unseat me, then when I started pushing I saw that something was wrong with the feeling. I've enjoyed saving falls in the past, but the save I did today wasn't as fun as the position was much more extreme and made me lose a bit of confidence. On the last lap I said 'ok, maybe I'll crash' and I crashed. For tomorrow it seems like more normal conditions so I think we can put together a good race but perhaps the podium is a step too high at the moment."
