I didn\u2019t want to overtake him at that braking spot, but Marc did it earlier to pass me back and the attack finished there. I almost crashed at turn two while I was still close to him, and that\u2019s when I realised it wasn\u2019t the case to take risks. We bagged some more important points for the championship and gathered valuable data ahead of tomorrow\u2019s race. Today Marc was faster than us and we must be happy with how it went.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FERMIN ALDEGUER #54<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m very happy, I knew I could do a great race. I had the doubt on whether to use the soft or the medium tyre, I chose to be brave and it paid dividends. We were very quick in the last part and we have been feeling good so far this weekend \u2013 from the get-go. I\u2019m learning a lot and quickly by racing with the frontrunners.
