I’m experiencing a similar feeling as in Aragon; it’s difficult to ride the bike the way I want. I’m struggling to find the right feeling. We need to fully understand the situation because the hot temperatures are making things tougher. Tomorrow, my goal is to improve enough to reach Q2 and then do the best job possible.

In the afternoon, I had a crash during the time attack, but fortunately, I'm fine. I was pushing harder than before and lost the front. Overall, we've made good progress throughout the day, and I feel good because I'm improving step by step, that’s a positive sign for the weekend.
