"I'm happy to start the season like this; I didn't have any specific expectation coming here. I tried to close the gap to Jorge five laps from the end of the second moto but the track was getting really rough by then and I nearly went over the bars; a lot of guys got hurt this weekend and experience told me "it's enough". I didn't win a moto but I was fast both days; this is the first time I've been on the podium here and I have ended the weekend just three points from the red plate. It's important to stay consistent all year and not make any mistakes. I've been trying a few new things the last few weeks and I think I have found the best way to work; now we fly back to Europe and I'll continue to work on my physical condition for Spain."
