Hello guys,

In the last weekend I did the first two races of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup at the Red Bull Ring Circuit in Spielberg.

Unfortunately both races were not what I expected; I started from the fifth row after qualifying practice and I never managed to stay with the best group and be able to have a chance to win!

In the first race, on Saturday, on the last lap I was trying to get the 15th position and during a pass between turns 6 and 7 I crashed with another rider, Tatchakorn Buasri #5, and following this crash I'm sorry because he was unable to participate at the second race on Sunday.

In Race 2, on Sunday, I got a good start and for the first laps I was with the group of the best but unfortunately I made mistake at turn 3 of the fourth lap and I immediately lost the riders in front.

I was unable to recovering those two seconds lost previously and I had to do a backup race, finishing 18th but having gained a lot of experience for the next weekend where I will try to improve myself.
