But from the start, everything got complicated. “Two or three things happened during the Sprint. First, I had a problem with the holeshot device – I pressed the button, but nothing happened. Maybe I didn't press it correctly or something wasn't working, we'll check. I lost two or three places because of this. » he continued.

That's not all! Then he had to avoid falling at all costs. “Secondly, I wanted to brake, and I realized that I had a problem with the rear which was cold in Turn 1, so to avoid Zarco, I had to go straightI was way back, then I spent some time warming up the rear and it was only in the last two laps that the tire worked properly. We have to check everything, because all the elements were there to achieve a good result » he concluded.
