“Obviously, I had to deal with the injury. But I have to congratulate the doctors at the mobile clinic, their level is incredible and they did a great job and I wasn't in too much pain. Sometimes we complain about what's wrong with the Championship but, at the same time, we have to recognize the positive things and the level of the Clinica Mobile is one of them. Despite this, I had no strength in my leg and it was difficult to move on the bike, which on a track like Valencia penalizes a lot. However, after today's Sprint I am more confident about my grip in the race, I want to bring the bike to the finish line because everyone, from the fans to Aprilia, deserves it after this season."
