“This morning we did pretty well, finishing warm-up in P3.

The feeling in the race was slightly better than yesterday, even though there are still some vibrations on corner entry. We need to work a bit more on the engine brake, but I'm confident we can improve something for tomorrow. We are not far off.

We will also analyze my riding to understand where I can do better for tomorrow's race. Plus, we will start one row further ahead, which is definitely an advantage.

So yes, I'm looking forward to Race 2.”
