"I thought it was dangerous to stay on track"
 

"At the beginning of the race the feeling was good because there was no need to rush to get ahead, so it was quiet. When I was knocked off I think I was in tenth, but there were still seven laps to go and my strategy was to stay in the group and attack later, but it was not be. I was struck from behind and, although my intention was to stay in the race after three laps I saw that it was almost impossible to ride because I had the handlebar up too high and the brake and footrest were broken. So I thought it was dangerous to stay on track because in the case of heavy braking the handlebar was so high and I could have hurt myself."

5th, +0.560s

"We were ready to fight in the race and that’s what we did. This type of racing is where you gain most experience"
 

"It was a hard-fought race. We were doing a great job from the start on Friday, so we were prepared to fight in the race and that’s what we did. We were in front, although there were times when I was a little behind because I had many incidents with other riders, but I gave my best and I fought like a beast. This type of racing is where you gain most experience, especially in the group, so it helped me to get more racing knowledge. For now, we continue to learn and improve, but when you see the podium so close it’s frustrating to finish in fifth position because you think maybe I could've got it on the last corner. Still, the result tastes good because the progression we are making is solid. Since Mugello we are doing a good job and are already noticing results. Now we have to keep going."
