Honestly, I’m quite happy. We nearly got to the points, but the main thing is that I’ve felt better after some small changes in the balance of the bike. Now, I’ve got more confidence when turning, and I believe we are on the right path. Let’s keep pushing!

I can’t deny it; it’s been a hard race. To finish the Sprint was the next step, and we’ve done it; that means we are closer to our goal, which is to recover and return to my performance and I’m working hard to feel better every day. I want to thank the team for the job done.
