Hello,
Our season is over and we have already started preparing for
the next one. The final result of the season is not what we were hoping for but
it is also nothing too bad. I finished 8th overall and my best result was 5th
in Assen.
The year started in Aragon where in the middle of the last
lap I was 1st but with a little bit of bad luck and my own mistake, I finished
7th. The second race was in Assen which was wet. I managed to finish 5th there.
To Imola we went with high hopes as I really like the track and I was fast
there last year. I started from P2 and after a few laps I was first with a gap
of 1.2s. I tried too hard and I crashed from the first place. It was very
disappointing but my hunger for a good result was just growing. Donington was
the first new track for me and it was really difficult to learn. I started from
the second row but it had been raining before race and we made a wrong choice
with tyres. I crashed in the second lap on a damp place and finished 11th
eventually. Misano, Portimao and Jerez were also all new tracks for me and I
had some trouble learning them fast enough. In Misano I finished 7th. In
Portimao I fought in the first group but finally finished 8th losing just 0.5s
to the winner. In Jerez I fought in the first group but finished 9th. Magny
Cours was the season finale and It looked good to me as I was 1st in the first
qualifying. In the end I started 5th. The race was very wet and after the first
lap I was 3rd. In the end of second lap I crashed from the second place trying
to catch the leader. In the end I finished 8. The race was a total crash-fest
with half of the riders crashing and some of them twice.
Now I have the winter to train hard and prepare myself for next year.
