Unfortunately I started a little back, it was difficult to aim for the podium. In the very first few laps, I got stuck behind the riders who had the average which gave them a small advantage at the start. I then kept my pace and I’m happy with the way I rode and managed the GP, a little less than the position in general ”.

I was behind Bagnaia and staying so close, in the wake, I started to have some problems with the front tire. I lost something and then tried to close strong. Thanks to the team, they did a great job, to the Academy and to all the Japanese fans, they were really special ”.
