“Our pace in the Sprint was an improvement and overall it was an okay day. It’s not easy to come back and do things like Qualifying and the Sprint, these are the parts that you miss a bit as a Test Rider. But we were able to get through a lot of items in a short time and continue along with the requests of Honda HRC. Now tomorrow we focus on the race and achieving the best result possible before we get back to testing.”
