“It was a pretty tough race. I didn’t start badly, but we came up against a very large group and we were all fighting a lot amongst ourselves. I would pass on the corners but they would get past me on the straights. The other bikes, like that of Efren [Vazquez] and Juanfran [Guevara], were very fast on the straights. The race was hard and you cannot do anything when you are in situation like that, in which you overtake but can’t make it stick. It was a little frustrating, because if I had not been in that group I would have had a higher pace throughout the race. Now we’ll just focus on Aragon, which incidentally is one of my favourite tracks. We have to keep working hard.”

“It was a bit of a strange race. We had a good starting position and we made ??a good start, holding our place and having a great first lap. But after the first lap the rear tyre started to slide too much, like had never happened to me before, and that was just one lap in. It was like the tyres had already gone off. I tried to stay in the front group for a few laps but it was very difficult to ride in that condition. In the end I crashed. I don’t know why this happened, but we must look ahead, because the whole team did a great job all weekend. The bike worked well until that unfortunate moment. We are at a a good level, we just need some extra luck.”
