Motorcycle Racer Reflects on First-Day Pace and Final Lap

From the first laps, uh, this morning, I was so happy to see the lap time is coming, and I'm already in the top 10.

And this was so pleasant, uh, feeling that I'm not shocked by the speed of the bike. But then the afternoon when the real story begins with, uh, a soft tire and need to attack more on the bike, wow, I thought, "Oh, okay,

now it, it will start to be difficult." After the first, uh, time attack, uh, at the end of the, the session, I thought, "Shit, uh, maybe top 10 is not possible." I was not in a worry. I say, "Well, it's like this."

But then when I left for the last, last four minutes knowing that I will have one lap to do, I thought, "Okay, keep, uh, trying," and, uh, and it worked.

So this was very nice. I knew I w- can have this possibility to have the speed, and it just nice to, to confirm it, uh, from the first day.
