“It was a tricky race for everyone, so I’m happy to have brought home some solid points. I had a decent start and managed to survive a messy first corner, then felt pretty comfortable on the bike. I was trying to catch Zarco and Quartararo early on, but around mid-race I started to struggle a bit too much. So I was kind of nursing it and doing okay until about eight laps from the end, when I switched to Map 3 — and suddenly, I started to suffer, especially on acceleration out of the last corner and through the direction change into Turn 11. It might’ve been a combination of the map and the tyres, but from that point on, it was hard for me to do much. I tried to defend myself from Marini and Binder, but in the end, I had to let them go. Still, it’s been a good weekend — I scored points in both the Sprint and the GP. It could have been a few more, but now it’s time to focus on the next one.”
