part of the race was fast. I was able to do
fast laps, but I just expected a bit more

that I lost the race, because also the res

race, but in the end, it finished in a good
way."

that I made it to the finish line, but I am
a li le disappointed with how far back I
was. I was able to stay with Luca [Marini]
at the start of the race, although I wish I
could have passed him a li le earlier as
the others were just ahead and maybe I
could have latched onto them. I am happy
with today though and being able to finish
