The bike is competitive, and with the new tyre, the lap times are solid. I’m happy with that; today’s feelings confirm the bike is good, but I’m not entirely satisfied yet. I still haven’t found the level of comfort I need to fully enjoy riding. There's work to be done to find the perfect feeling and maximize my performance. Even though today wasn’t my best day, there are still positives, so we’ll see tomorrow!

After four days of pushing and trying to find the limit, there came a point where I had no choice but to crash. I’ve learned from it; I lost the front end while I was riding at a high speed and couldn’t save it. I have a minor bruise, but nothing serious. While the crash threw off our plans, we still had a strong day overall. Looking forward to tomorrow!
