I’m very happy with today’s qualifying, the team is working well and the bike’s improving each time I ride it. I’m feeling better with the circuit and think I can improve tomorrow. I’m excited for the race and to make my debut in Moto2 tomorrow. I’m hoping for a solid race and to finish with solid points to kick off my season.
