Xavi - 4th, 2:04.150
I am happy to be on the front row and happy because the bike is working well and feels good to ride. I didn’t have any big problems today, just a small problem with the front tyre feel. But apart from that, nothing of note. I am looking forward to the race tomorrow and I think I can make the podium for sure. I hope to get a good start, fight at the front of the pack and be in a good position at the end. The important thing for me is to make sure I score a good number of points and maintain my championship lead.
