I pushed really hard from the first lap to stay with the front group. I passed Pasini in the first corner through the outside and then Koyama through the inside. I had made a really good start, looking forward to make a good race. It was much better than in Mugello during the first few laps and that’s something to be happy about. It’s been a shame because every time we got to the straight and I was in front of the group, they would pass me and I would fall back again. So it’s been very difficult for me to overtake them, because I lost a lot of time on the straights. I tried really hard to out brake them but I made a mistake. I was just pushing too hard, trying to recover too much and when I lost the slipstream it was just impossible to stay in the group. I managed to catch them in twisty sections but as soon as we got on the straight off they went again. I’m happy because this sixth position is the best result of the season. I have to be happy for it and because I gave my very very best. I’m looking forward to the next three races, and I hope we’ll be able to make the bike be faster.
