Furusato ready to score points again, Aji still in trouble

The Japanese Honda Team Asia rider showed an excellent pace today. Only a mistake in the qualifying session put him behind on the grid for tomorrow's race. On the other hand, his teammate Aji is still uncomfortable with the bike, and despite showing signs of improvement, he will start the race very backwards.

After finishing the qualifying session, I could say that we were expecting a better result, according to the progression our riders showed during the weekend. However, these sessions are usually chaotic and challenging to manage on these small tracks. They had a bit of traffic they didn't manage as well as they could. In any case, those are the positions on the grid, and tomorrow, we wait for something better in the race.

I'm disappointed about the qualifying session because I couldn't make my best lap time due to a mistake in sector 3. I expected a better position after to be 4th this morning. I have pace riding alone, so I aim to overtake my rivals to reach the race's top. I expect a funny race tomorrow.

This weekend has been difficult for me. I struggle on all sessions. Every outing, I'm doing better, but I need more. To be on the 42's, I must find some details and fix it for tomorrow's race. But the main is on my side. I want to enjoy it like in Barcelona.
