In fact, I almost did the fastest lap of the race, but I don’t know what happened to the bike in the last eight laps. Because the control traction cut a lot of power and the bike didn’t move forward. I was so frustrated because I couldn’t do anything Something similar happened to both riders, I don’t know,” explained the Aprilia rider.
