"Honestly I can just say sorry to the team. I wanted to ride a really good race especially here, where I always felt comfortable on track. Unfortunately today I could not handle it. My start was actually not too bad, I kept my grid position but afterwards it was difficult to find my rhythm. I tried to do my best to stay with the leading group but unluckily I made a mistake while braking at the first corner, and consequently I was too fast to stay in the line and crashed."
22nd position
"The race today could have ended well, because during the warm up we have seen that the modifications we made after qualifying improved considerably my feeling with the bike and I was easily able to ride constant 1,39 sec lap times. However, my start itself was not that bad, unfortunately I was jammed in the first corner when Baldolini, Wilairot and two other riders crashed out. In this situation somebody hit my bike and it was a miracle that I didn't crash out. But just after a few laps I realized that my rear tire had an abnormal behavior because it was very slippery. I tried to handle this inconveniences by adapting my riding style, but I wasn´t able to realize the lap times I did during the whole weekend with old tires. It's really a shame, however for sure I won't give up and I'm looking forward to the next race in Aragon."
