I’m very excited for the Americas GP. COTA is without a doubt one of my favorite tracks, if not the top one, and I've consistently achieved good results here. So, why not aim to improve upon them once again? I can’t wait to jump on my bike and ride in this challenging yet incredibly enjoyable track. The feeling from the last two races is positive and if we continue our work like this, I think we can do it well. I’m fully motivated.

It's sad I'll be without my teammate this weekend. I wish Ayumu a speedy recovery and we'll wait for him in Jerez!
