I'm speechless with frustration at this situation. I train hard, I work hard, I do everything I can to reach my goal, but sometimes luck just isn't on your side, and there's nothing you can do about it…
On Friday, everything went well during free practice. However, on Saturday morning, the day of qualifying, the bike wasn't working, which sent me to Q1 (the repechage), where it still wasn't working. So I wasn't even able to complete a full lap to set a time and secure my place in the race.
This is the first time I've left a race weekend on Saturday night, because there was no point in staying, except to be frustrated.
Thank you to my family and sponsors for their support.
