"We really needed a Friday like this. We gave everything the bike had, even if I still don’t feel 100% comfortable. But we're finally up there with the top guys and the Kalex riders, that's a positive sign that we can have some fun this weekend. I truly believe in the work we’re doing as a team. Racing here at Mugello, such a stunning track, in front of my family, friends, and fans gives me an extra boost to do well."
