During the second round I improved and recovered my situation, though it was not enough. Without a doubt, this Championship is proving to be very hard and exciting.Takahisa Fujinami I don’t feel satisfied because I conceded too many points, particularly during the first round. I improved during the second round and managed to recover enough to make it to the podium, which is always a good thing.
