That which is it is clear that we worked well in the winter and now we are ready for battle. The track is dirtier than the tests 2 weeks ago, there was a bit of slipping especially in the middle of the corner, but we all race in the same conditions, this is the positive thing about this sport. I have to thank my team, even if they are few, the guys are working great. Today I got back on the saddle after the two crashes on the last day of testing, but it went really well"
