I'm pretty happy after today! Starting from ninth position on this track is tough, especially because the first corner is very demanding. I tried to manage the situation, got a good start, and from there I was able to control the bike the way I wanted, especially my pace and traction. That gave me an advantage with my riding style, and I really enjoyed the battles with my rivals. This fifth place is a great result! I'd like to thank the team, the sponsors, and everyone who believes in us. We'll try to repeat this performance tomorrow!

After the third lap, I started to struggle with my arm. I wanted to finish the Sprint, gather information, and see how I felt. Tomorrow will be difficult, but I will try my best. Thanks to the team for the great work.
