“It has been a very busy weekend.. We have been very competitive throughout the weekend, But we have also had bad luck. In the race on Saturday, viu was impeccable, but Mario was rammed by another pilot. With Guti we had a technical failure that deprived him of the victory, but we got 16 very important points for the championship. On Sunday, The Warm-Up confirmed the good set-up of the weekend. SBK's career has been marked by a small incident with another pilot, which has made him lose several positions. From there, Oscar has rushed and, in an advance, He has lost the front train and has gone to the floor. Aleix, going first, I also think that it has rushed a bit and has fallen. To go ahead you have to go to the limit, today they made a small mistake, but we are with our pilots and we are sure that we have great potential. Mario has been physically diminished. It's been a shame, but keep learning every race. In Estoril we will be fighting for front positions.”
