Despite a tough weekend, grabbing points feels rewarding. We wanted to improve, but we didn’t nail the job. We need to better understand the situation to turn things around. I was aiming for a top-10 finish, but it wasn't easy. Of course, scoring points is important, especially after the recent results, but we need to get back to where we were a few weeks ago. We’ll try again at the Sachsenring.

Getting my first point in the MotoGP championship is very special. I’d like to thank Aleix Espargaró, riding behind him helped me understand many things, and I learned a lot. I pushed hard to score points, and we finally achieved it. Many thanks to the team and to Takaaki Nakagami for their work and support this weekend!
