The Moto3 race wasn't easy because of the wind. The top group was huge, with Taiyo and Mario inside in some moments. They dropped positions to finish in the second group, fighting for points. Tatchakorn did another step ahead from the last races. Overall, the weekend has been positive, and we hope to repeat it next week in Misano.

The weekend was going very well, both Friday and Saturday. Therefore, I expected more in the race. I was in the top group for many laps but finally lost contact. I scored points, which makes me happy, but this is not the expected result. We will try it again next weekend in Misano.

I've done a positive race, doing a constant progression almost from the last position after some problems at the start. I've been fighting in the second group to score points. That is what I expected because this is one of my favourite tracks. The team is happy with the pace I showed in the race. Also, I'm pleased about the guys' work this weekend. Of course, I could be most content scoring points, but I'm satisfied with my race, finishing at 7 seconds to the winner. That gives me motivation for the next races.

I'm delighted about my race here in Catalunya. I felt confident with the bike. I've been fighting with very experienced riders, and during the race, I've done my best lap time of the weekend. I was in the second group; I learned a lot there, mainly some things I need to improve my riding. That is another positive experience for me.
