Rider, MotoGP
“We’ve had a really good start today, the bike I am riding has improved a lot since the start of the year and I have also been riding a lot more, so everything is coming together. There is more potential there from the bike, I was pushing but that final bit – I have margin, and we can go faster. There’s more stability, speed, everything has improved over the course of the year. We need to make the most of Qualifying because overtaking here is very hard.”
