“Today went very well, especially in the afternoon. This morning we were quick right from the start, the track was in excellent condition and we knew we could get into the top 10. I immediately set a great time and this allowed us to work on our race pace in the afternoon: we tried two different set-ups and we improved in many aspects. It was a positive day and I’m very satisfied with today’s performance.”
