This morning we found wet conditions on the track and couldn't check the setup. Although that, Taiyo and Mario fought to improve their lap time on the best qualifying practice of the season, with both in Q2. It could be better than P15 and P18, but we hope tomorrow they will catch up positions on the race, trying their best.

I'm happy because entering Q2 was my first objective today. In that session, I rode with used tires, and when we changed to new ones, I struggled to manage my position in the group. Overall, it has been a good weekend; I hope tomorrow I will have the option to finish it positively.

In Q2, I waited for my momentum, but the fastest guys rushed me, and I couldn't make my lap time as yesterday. The weekend is going well; we will see tomorrow in the race. I want to take points because I felt confident in all the practice. That's a good sign; it's a good improvement. I know I could make the best qualifying, but I'm being constant in the last few races; I want to continue this way.
