“Today was really tough, the long race was super demanding from my physical condition like I knew it would be. I did my best and at the start of the race we were able to stay with everyone, then I had to focus more and more. It has been a good weekend, and we’ve been able to get through a lot of the items we had, now I need to recover a bit more and get ready for our next events with the Test Team. It makes me really happy to see the other Honda riders getting stronger each weekend, this is a new kind of satisfaction you feel when you’re a test rider.”
