Choices which have until now rewarded those who had been able to show a certain audacity. And Michelin will still provide new tires ! « We will see how things will turn out there and we will adapt to the situations in the same way as we have managed to do so far. I like this track. The first section is slow then there is a series of fast turns where it is possible to make a difference with good settings on the bike. I have always loved racing there and we will give everything to get the best result ».
