“It’s a shame because I had a very good start today. Unfortunately, under braking there was contact with Diggia, who tried to attack from the outside, and I had no options. From that moment on, I focused on my riding and overtaking, and I found a good rhythm. We definitely made a nice step forward in the sprint, and tomorrow we have a good chance to be among the protagonists. Today we could have been in the top four or five, and that will be the goal for tomorrow.”

“We completed the sprint, even though I was hoping for more consistency in the lap times. I wasn’t that far from the group ahead of me, but I made a few small mistakes. We need to — and we can — make another step forward tomorrow as well, and thanks to the team who are doing a great job. Of course, the heat isn’t helping us perform at our best.”
