I’m very happy because Sheridan was able to go faster in the straight line, but I knew that I was fast in the twisty where he was not so confident. The result is really good for me and for Yamaha. So many thanks to my team for their hard work this weekend. At the beginning I did was not so confident but we really did it ".
