“We did an incredible job throughout the weekend.
“When I started the race, I was not feeling good with a break, so I didn’t stop the bike as I wanted, or as tomorrow.

“We have to understand, analyze what happened, because of course, as I said, I think we lost an opportunity, because we had the speed of fighting for the podium, I think, like tomorrow.”
Di Giantonio said that there was “positivity” that he could take the next race in Aragon, but admitted that he was “angry about today.”
“We also have to see positive things,” he said. “We have taken an incredible step forward with a setup with the bike. Bhavna with the bike is now much better.”
