“I see today as a positive day, even if I finished far from the first positions. I improved a lot my confidence, returning to have the right feeling with the bike after a painful period and it is what I needed. I’m feeling good and I’m optimistic about tomorrow’s race, even if we still have a few things that we need to work on, to improve the race pace. Tomorrow we should use the warm up to make the necessary changes on our Ducati, trying to achieve a good result and to take home some important points for the ranking. But I know we can do it!”
