I felt pretty good going into the race and through this weekend I’d been getting faster and faster in every session and going up a few places. I got a decent start in the race and I was looking to get a better result here because my pace in the warm-up was reasonable too. The race was a tough one though. Somewhere along the way the rear tyre became unbalanced and started to vibrate and chatter really badly – especially in the last five or ten laps I could hardly ride it. After that I just started losing positions and it wasn’t a fun race because it was hard to tip into any of the corners. We didn’t need that problem today so we’ll just have to look into why it happened and move on to the next race at Donington.
