And the truth was not easy at all, it was those very worked and expensive victories, with a couple of important keys such as the decision to change the starting lane in the starting grid: all eyes were on to see what happened, if I I was wrong or not ... but luckily what we thought happened with Marcelo Ambrogio ”, Tanito explained.

“Later in the laps we were fast, I made a difference that I tried to manage and in the end. In the face to face with Rossi, who put everything he had to attack me, I was able to hold the position. There it is clear that, by cutting the difference, he shows us that he is still one step ahead. We improve and it is clear, now we need a little more ”, He added.
