MAVERICK 2nd VIÑALES "At first I was very careful. In the warm up lap has fallen rider ahead of me and I decided to start the race in stride. I had never ridden this bike in water and slowly I've been feeling more comfortable. Every time I have gone faster and taking the head. I had so much fun with this bike because you spend it in water very well, you're skidding but unlike moto3 with Kalex I can go correcting what the bike does. I had a fine. On the last lap I had to try but West has been very fast and I had a scare that made ​​me think that the second today was a very good result. " LUIS 15th SALOM "It was a tough weekend in which I suffered a lot with the finger injury. I have had a lot of pain during training in the arm. This morning in the warm up it hurt a lot and the doctor decided prick before heading out to race. At checkout I've played with a pilot and has made me lose positions. Slowly I have been overcome pilots and winning way up to the head, but in a corner I corrected a stranger who has made me and the bike, I've gone to the wet area and I crashed. It was a shame but these things sometimes happen in racing. I want to thank the team because he has done a great job this weekend and it has helped me a lot. "
