The bike’s balance is a narrow window, and we are working hard to find it so we can push and improve. We couldn’t find it straight away today, but we tried many things, which helped us understand what could work. Then, we were unlucky with the weather, as it started to rain, so we couldn’t nail the job. Tomorrow should be a good opportunity to gain consistency and keep improving, as we made progress before the rain. The long run will be important to see if we’ve found the right solution.

Today I rode in the rain for the first time. At the beginning, I was quite cautious, but lap after lap, I started to feel more comfortable on the bike. I’m getting to know the bike better as the laps go by, and that’s important. The electronics are really good and are a great help. Tomorrow, we’ll probably do a long run. I can’t wait!
