Jerez,Spain GP On the out lap, my clutch was slipping, so I came in to get the other bike - but on the warm-up lap that wasn't working so well, so I came back into the pits to change again, and start from pit lane. The first ten laps were really hard - the rear tyre that worked well yesterday had no grip today. I was struggling with my lap time a second slower than I expected. The situation improved a little after ten laps, but then it was too late. Towards the end I was closing on Kurtis and I thought I could make it. Then the top four guys came up, and I slowed to let them past, and my chance was gone. But we finished, and we hope for better luck next time.
