“Once again this Grand Prix followed a familiar pattern for me: a Saturday where we weren’t quite sharp enough, followed by a Sunday spent fighting to recover ground. During the race, I was able to take an important step forward, battling with several riders at the front of the pack — and that’s never easy. I’m pleased with the performance today, but we know there’s still work to do. We need to find a way to be competitive across the whole weekend and take that step forward we've been aiming for.”
