"Everything OK. My left foot is a little sore, but it's nothing serious. I went to the medical center and got back on the bike, and everything was fine. On the motorbike it's not a problem, only when I walk I have quite a bit of pain. But, honestly, the most important thing is that I have no pain on the bike. I knew I would be fast on the soft tyre. I wasn't pushing to the limit on the medium tyre. I was doing my own pace and was quite impressed with my lap times. At that moment I knew that with the soft tires I could be much faster. I knew I would fight for the top 3 positions, but I never expected to be first by half a second. I have to go back to the Mobile Clinic later. I twisted my ankle a little, so they're going to put ice on it and tape it down to strengthen it. It should be fine tomorrow.”
