Unfortunately, on the first three laps I was missing a lot of grip. I couldn't fight for the position I had hoped for. But, like I said on Thursday: if I give my 100%, I will be happy with the race. This is what I did. We know where the points of improvement are for our bike, but today it was great to do laps behind our competitors so I could really see and give great feedback to the engineers. This year I’m working on two things. I am trying to finish in the best place possible. I’m trying to learn and be focused and calm. But I’m also trying to prepare for next year, which I think will be super important. I want to give the best feedback to Yamaha as possible, to make the best bike as possible.
