I was like, "OK, stay calm", and I attacked and attacked to close the gap on the guys in front. I passed a lot of riders. Finish fourth with everything that happened is amazing. Honestly, I’m sorry about what happened to Kenan. I would have much preferred to fight with him today, and that’s a real shame for the championship and the fans. To me, he’s a WorldSSP legend. But it’s racing, I’m really, really sorry for him, and I wish him a speedy return. ablation. The championship is still completely open: I think it could go as far as Qatar! "

We knew we were fast in the wet conditions: it was a lot easier and I was hoping for rain, but it didn’t come. The guys behind me finally didn’t. not passed, I have to be satisfied because the fifth place was the best result we could get "
