After the crash, the right side of the bike was damaged, but it was still rideable. However, I was missing a lot of stability. I wanted to rejoin the race in case of a red flag. I also noticed other riders making mistakes, so I was hoping to score some points. It’s a real pity, my start was good, but another rider crashed and I was right next to him; I couldn’t avoid him. In any case, I wanted to at least give it a try. Now I’m focused on tomorrow’s test and on doing a good job.
