Video Transcript
Pedro, thanks for joining us again A pleasure thanks again.
So, first Grand Prix after the summer break.
Yeah, eventful summer break for you- Yeah coming back from the States.
First of all, how was the London event?
Quite cool.
Quite cool.
Being honest, we spent We make a lap around, the center of London, I would say.
We see some, I mean, the, the Big Ben, the Eye of London, these kind of things.
But being honest, quite cool to have the press conference out of the track, be able to answer some question from the fans.
This was quite cool.
Now we're getting a bit more serious.
What, are which are your expectation for this fast and, amazing track?
No expectation, being honest.
I mean, last year clearly was the toughest year being whole season.
Was the first time in, in my Moto GP career that I was qualifying, like, 14 or 15.
And then it's true that the race more or less we, we managed to finish in top six, top seven, something like that.
For this, I expect minimum to make it better than last year.
Like I say, we struggle a lot.
I think that we have a better bike than in that days for this.
Let's see if we can try to, to fight for this top five, six.
Being honest, it's not my best track in the calendar.
For this, I think now we have to maintain the feet in the ground, and don't think that, at the moment a podium is, is not possible.
Yeah.
I've, I've, read some comments from you, saying that, winning your first Moto GP race here would be, like, kind of a miracle here.
On the other hand, you have experienced, some, problems with the bike the first part of the season.
Is there any update regarding this kind of, problems for here after the summer break?
Well, being honest, I didn't talk with KTM at the moment, you know?
At the end, I listen that they were working quite hard, hard in, in, in Austria to try to understand and solve all the problems that we had, because it was not only one.
And, and we lose maybe this chance to be much more in the front of the championship for, for these problems.
But, at the end, it's not my hand.
I think they, they should they start to understand and, and, and improve with it, because if not, try to be even close to the top three of the championship will be, a tough mission.
Does it make you feel, uncomfortable, not knowing if these kind of problems can, can happen again?
Well, it's quite tough, you know, because I always prefer to, to make the mistake by myself and blame myself than, than have, a problem that I cannot control- Mm-hmm you know, for this.
At the moment, it's a question mark.
Thankfully, in Sachsenring didn't happen nothing.
For this, I hope that, here and for the rest of the season we don't have any, any, any more problems.
Thank you very much.
