Repsol Honda Team march on: Bou clinches another GP

It’s been a great weekend. Yesterday I took it quite easy but I had things a bit more complicated today. I was third on the first lap but I put in a really good second one and reacted well. You can’t always win it, but I’m very pleased to have picked up only four points on one of the laps. A lot of it is due to having trained a lot at the Non-Stop during the winter, which even though I don’t like it, I’ve had to make an effort to improve. I’m happy with the weekend and how the championship has started.

I’m pleased with today’s fourth place, although I didn’t make the podium. I picked up a few faults, which means that I should be able to do better in the coming races. I would like to congratulate both Toni for his four victories and Jaime for his great results. The team has done a great job this weekend.

Today started quite badly. I tried to stay focused but it all went the other way. I did the first lap terribly and the second. But in the third I did it really well and I improved my riding a lot and managed to get a far better result that I had been expecting.

It’s been a great weekend. Results like this really help the team to get ahead. Toni had a fine race today, although not an easy one, but it’s been an important one as it opens his advantage at head of the championship table. Fuji too got a great result when you take his physical condition into consideration. He will probably be able to improve, but we will have to take it one step at a time. Jaime, like yesterday, is getting magnificent results and is learning a lot. It’s his first year with us and with this kind of bike, but everything that he achieves is positive for him and for us.
One has to also thank all the rest of the team who are behind the riders. The team is crucial to get everything running smoothly. Thanks to all and we’ll try and do it all over again next week.
