“I don’t even know what to say – he said after the race – it was fantastic. I started well enough, but I had a bit of a door with Miller to stay with the leaders. I felt I could go fast. I was catching Quartararo and Espargaro and when I caught up with them Fabio made that mistake. The door in front of me opened wide and I told myself to chase Pecco and see what came out. I pushed like a damned thing, I managed to distance a little from those behind me and I looked for to manage the rubber “.

Now I will look at the data and I hope to find confirmation that I have learned something also for the next tracks.
