“It was a tough weekend, but that’s racing. The track was really one-lined, and every time you tried something off the main line, it got too soft. In the first moto, I was running fourth and pushing for third when I fell. The second race was better—I was battling up front, but I just couldn’t get by. Still, I’m on the podium again, and now we head to Matterley. Everyone likes that track—it’s wide, fast, and usually has a lot of lines, so we’ll see what happens there.”

“My start in the first moto was really good—these days, that makes such a big difference. I found a solid rhythm behind Everts and kept pushing to stay in fourth. The second start wasn’t as strong, but I pushed hard and even passed Adamo at one point, which shows I’m making progress. I’m still missing some race time and experience because of the injury, but I’m improving every week and my speed is coming back. I learned a lot this weekend, and we’ll keep working over the next two weeks to be ready for Matterley.”
