We're not where we want to be yet, but we did make some progress today. Fabio did a great job in qualifying. The level in Q1 was high, but he managed to secure a spot in the top 2 and promote to Q2. It led to him taking tenth on the grid – something we wouldn't have expected yesterday. In the Sprint, Fabio had a good opening lap, and he was taking on rivals. He had the edge in the twisty sections but lost out on the main straight, which ultimately had him finish in tenth place. But he was within 0.7s of the rider finishing sixth, so that's positive. Álex lost some ground in the first sector of the opening lap due to Pedro Acosta's fairing coming off, which put Álex on the back foot. He did manage to make up positions and duel with other riders throughout this short race, and we can use today's data to prepare for tomorrow. We have only one Race to go. It's the season finale, and we have nothing to lose!
