I felt good throughout the weekend because I was able to control and ride the bike the way I wanted. This result is the outcome of many small steps forward coming together. Securing a second consecutive podium is incredible. Today, I focused on managing tyre wear as best as I could to ensure strong performance in the final stages of the race, and the strategy paid off. Huge thanks to the team and to HRC, this confirms that we can do great things and that we’re constantly improving.

It was a difficult race. Even though I wanted to push and get the most out of the bike, my arm didn’t allow me to ride the way I wanted. I’ll keep focusing on my recovery so I can feel stronger in Aragon. I'd like to thank the team for their job this weekend.
