"The release at the start of the race wasn’t too bad, but then I had a bit of wheel spin — maybe I was a little too aggressive on the clutch, or the track was quite dirty — which caused me to lose a few positions. Fortunately, I was able to recover them fairly quickly. However, we struggled with grip. We opted for the medium rear tire, and I’m not sure if it was the right decision, but it’s always easier to say that after the race. Anyway, I tried to be as gentle as possible and find my rhythm. With 11 laps to go, I felt like I was catching up to the other riders, but in the end, our tire degradation was similar, so I wasn’t able to move forward as much as I had expected. Overall, it’s been a valuable learning weekend for us. Of course, we want to be closer to the front, and I’m confident that we’ll come back stronger in Texas in two weeks' time."
