            | Another very tough race. We took the wrong front tyre, and after ten laps I had 
no grip at all. After the race it was very abraded. I don't know why - it never 
happened the previous two days. I felt like I crashed many times, though I 
didn't actually fall down! Then the back started to slide, and I worried the 
engine might be leaking oil. I looked down, checked my boots, and everything was 
alright, so I thought okay, let's go again. In the last five laps I saw the two 
Kawasaki guys ahead, and I was really determined to pass them. I can't be 
satisfied with my position, but I am satisfied that I passed them both. |
