I was pretty confident today, I thought I would be fighting for the win in front. In the first part of the race was not a good feeling, he has appeared much chattering and I could not go as I wanted. As they have passed the laps I felt better but had already fled the front. I've been able to stay ahead of Aegerter and that comes in handy for the championship. " LUIS 15th SALOM "The truth is that I started well, going with the group that was where I belonged Morbidelli and Pons among others, but has been closed to me the direction Turn 9 and I've been about to fall, I went off track, and I lost many positions. I tried to recover slowly, but West was blocking me and when he tried to pass we touched, I lost a long time and when I got past I have started to turn in 38 and 39 was the pace to go with the front group. I'm happy because the feeling with the bike was good, the position is not what we want but we have to keep working. "
