This morning I felt fine on the bike, and I made some changes for the race. But when it started I felt that the front wheel was not right. There was a problem there. I think that the set up was perfect for me, and the problem was only with the tyre. I was not able to keep up with the pace set by the leaders and I started to drop back. Races are like this, but I want to apologise to my sponsors, the Japanese fans and to everybody else because yesterday we got some good results in training and today`s race was very important.
