It’s great to have my confidence back on the bike. I’m feeling more at ease and able to perform. Since yesterday, it’s been nice to be able to attack, as I did this morning. I lost a few tenths in qualifying, but we did a good job. At Sprint time, I had a solid start and pushed as much as possible. I couldn’t keep up with the pace of the first six riders, so despite my disappointment, I tried to make the most of the situation and finished 8th. I hope we can make some improvements for tomorrow, and we’re feeling confident.

Today, I used the soft tyres on both the front and rear. From the beginning, I tried to follow the group, but as the laps went on, I struggled to maintain my pace due to a lack of front-end feeling. Then I just tried to manage the situation. Overall, it wasn’t too bad, but tomorrow we’ll make some setup changes and aim to improve.
