We rode constantly in this race and were able to maintain a good pace. I gave it my best shot because on the first few laps I grazed Simoncelli`s bike and that made me lose time regarding the leading group. When I found myself at a certain distance I had two options, speed up or maintain my rhythm. I rode as fast as I could and I joined the leaders and did a few laps with them. Afterwards De Angelis fell and that stopped me from catching them again. There was another small gap then, but I could not close the gap on the leaders because my arm started to hurt again. I had some difficulties on some curves with the tyres but I did my best and I am satisfied with 6th position. On the last few laps I was hoping to catch Luthi bit by bit, and I tried, but it was not to be. But I am satisfied and looking forward to Valencia as I am dying to get a podium finish there, something that has not been possible this season.
