I hope that the adversity is turned on the other side, now my objective is the third position in championship and in Valencia I aime to make another beautiful competition.\''

Unfortunately the back tyre has begun to slip only after 5 turn, while the motor was a bomb! Sin for the halves errors competition, has done two long while I was looking for of rejoin the first and instead of taking back them, they reached me from behind. I now want to beat Pasini to unthread the third place to Talmacsi.\''
