ā€œItā€™s great to get back on the top of the box. Itā€™s hard, everybody is riding very fast and in the first races until now it was hard for me to ride like myself, always with a lot of pressure and I donā€™t know why.”

“It was a long time since I won so when everything goes well, it looks like everything comes easy, the wins come one after each other, but once you get the win, I think itā€™s the perfect place to be in to relieve pressure. And I think this weekend will change a lot. Itā€™s been hard, especially Argentina but Iā€™m super happy to be here and to go 1-2 for the overall. Second race was tough, but I got the GP win.”
