Missing colophon: Cheste

Missing colophon: Cheste



Did not win enough that a race because I was focused on another goal and it felt like. The test was a little blinded by the harsh weather of the weekend do not have prevented three spectacular races at Estoril. I want to thank my Fan Club and dedicate the win to Johnny Llansá. Now we are going to Valencia to close the World Cup and if I go to the podium a record-low score.

Back to triumph. I had almost forgotten what it was to win a race and that priority was different. But I wanted to achieve and in Portugal is special. Since I am in MotoGP has become a track that has something that makes me feel comfortable and allows me to go fast with the M1. Yamaha's why I wanted to leave me repeat the astronaut who in 2009 worked so well, thank you gesture.

Harsh conditions. The race was fantastic, although a little blind. Without reference to the tires, we decided to use the same strategy as last year. It was risky, but went well. We had the whole weekend with rain and without going to court a long time. The warm-up in the wet it all even more complicated, so we had to rely on intuition and experience. I want to thank my Fan Club has had to live some terrible days, meteorologically speaking. I hope to be with them again this week. And the victory in Estoril is dedicated to Juanito Llansá, my mechanical life, which for the first time could not be with us due to a family problem. A big hug to all your family and hope to see you on Thursday in Cheste.

Estoril did not disappoint. Despite the time, I think they have lived in three runs that demonstrate the quality of motorcycling, the health of the competition. Moto2 was beautiful and exciting, with lots of equity from the start and many drivers risking the win. And 125 was quite a spectacle. Two races in one and a character from falling off just before the second exit on the formation lap: Marc Marquez. Demonstrated that besides being lucky is that risk and was a joy to see how it is not satisfied with being second or third goal.

End of season. Now we go to Valencia, at home, in the final race of the season, and many challenges to achieve. No statistics me crazy, but it would be nice to win for the first time at the Ricardo Tormo circuit. Is a path that I have always been resisted (and also to the M1) and this time I have a new opportunity to win and not much to lose. Also I have to reach a record score in a World Championship. I would need a new podium, so there would be nothing wrong up to the drawer.
