"This morning was a little bit hard for us, because the Racing Team Germany-Race Party last night was really intensive with a lot of girls. Just kidding, it was difficult this morning because the feeling for the bike was not very good. And on this track, I have to work much more than on other racetracks. But the had a long meeting with the team in between the practises and we found a solution. Now we found all the confidence that's necessary to for a top position. Than I was on Pole Position for a long time during practise. At the end we finished in sixth position today. But we can improve further and we now the direction to go."
