First race in Aragon

The Aragon round is over and we have mixed emotions. From the first practice I felt good with bike and track and did good laptimes so I was second in free practice. The qualifying was in really difficult conditions. There were black clouds so we believed that there was rain about to come. I tried to make my fast lap as soon as I can because when it started raining the qualifying would be over. I could do only two fast laps before it started raining but it was enough to put me second on the grid. After a pretty good start I could stay in the first group. The race was as always in European Junior Cup with 7 riders changing places all the time. Some laps before end I made a mistake and had to work extra hard to catch the front guys back. I could catch them and I went to the last lap second with only some thousands of seconds to first. I moved first but made a mistake before going to the long backstraight. I was passed from slipstream on the straight and when going out from the hairpin lost some time behind a lapped driver and couldn’t make my way back to front and I finished seventh. The final result is not what I wanted for but I got the fastest lap of the race so I know I have the speed to win. Now I’m looking forward to Assen after two weeks.

Alcarras training camp

Hi

The training camp in Alcarras is over and I am really happy with the result. I found my speed and could work a little bit with bike setup. We made some good changes which should help me in Aragon. I had a little crash in the end but nothing big. There are some really fast drivers in the serie so it should be a very interesting year. Now we have some days rest and then we go to Aragon for the first round of the year.
