I came back to fourth in the race and couldn’t do more. “I would say it was a decent GP! The first race was not easy my start was not very good and I could come back to fifth, close to the other riders in front of me, but I wasn’t able to attack them. There’s 43 points in it now but there’s still 11 rounds to go.” Jeffrey Herlings Time to re-group and get healthy and I know exactly what I need to do as these guys are fast. 1-4 for third overall and on the other side I should be happy to even race here but now I will re-group, get healthy, train hard and be ready for the second half.

In the first race, I struggled a lot with the rhythm, these guys were pushing really hard and I just couldn’t find the good lines and made it hard for myself. Since Loket I have been improving a lot and now I have some weeks to get even better physically which has been my weakest point so far this season.
