“Compared to the first year we have gone slower and I don't understand why. We changed for EPole and I was feeling better. This was the way to go. Now there is the race, let's see if we can improve a little more, stay with the group and fight with them ”.

“I am very happy, we worked very well all weekend and from the first moment I felt at ease on the track and with the bike. I am ready for tomorrow. I started last in the EPole and I didn't know the track conditions I was about to find, but I concentrated on myself, to make a good lap. I made a mistake that prevented me from improving it even more, but I'm happy with the result”.
