“Obviously I can't be happy with today's position, I had a great pace and could have aimed for the Top10. I managed the rear well and I expected to have something more in the final laps. I struggle on the straight: I can't get close enough to those in front to overtake them when braking or I often have to go long. It's definitely an area we need to work on in Aragon and then in Misano to be able to be strong under braking because when you start from the middle of the pack it's really difficult to be able to defend yourself in the first laps. At the end I fought with Pecco, he was in difficulty, and I preferred not to attack him because among Ducatisti it is important to help each other for the Championship and at this moment a point for him can make the difference.
