“Today was really good because this morning I worked on my race pace and this afternoon we were able to break the lap record. It was a really good lap time in Superpole but the points are on Saturday and Sunday so we have to keep pushing. We have to keep working like this. I’ll be racing in another championship next year so I want to leave WorldSSP on a high. We are doing well but there are a lot of incredible riders and we’re all fighting. We need to just keep focused and try and not make mistakes.”
