I thank first of all the team that worked hard to solve a problem, everything allowed me to run in the best conditions. After a good qualification in the first heat I started well and I always fought with the pilots who were in the first positions. In the race two I found even better, too much pity that a small mistake forced me to reassemble with two. Placement I managed to return to the podium!
