“In the afternoon, the bike’s feeling improved significantly, and we made good progress with the setup. The feeling during braking and entry is positive. Grip levels improved as the session went on, and I think the fastest laps in the sprint and main race will probably come at the end. The key is feeling stable in braking, which is our main target. I don’t know who the main rivals will be tomorrow, but I’ll give it my all.”
