Not the goodbye you deserve, Phillip Island 💔🇦🇺 I’ll always be grateful for the incredible memories this place has given me. Victories in Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP… this island will always be special to me.

And a big thank you to all the fans who stayed out in the rain and cold to support us today 🫶

A little more satisfied with our pace in today’s Sprint 😌 Started 18th and finished 13th but once I caught the riders ahead, there wasn’t much I could do to overtake. Mixed feelings but a better race than we expected! ✊🏼

A much tougher Friday than we expected here at Phillip Island 🇦🇺 We were hoping for more after our performance last year but we’re losing a lot of time in the corners and struggling to carry speed. Not an easy situation but we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

We were hoping for more today after the pace we showed earlier this weekend. Unfortunately the feeling with the bike changed completely for the race and we struggled from the first lap. So P15 in Mandalika it is! Time to head home and see my family ❤️

I want to clarify what happened yesterday after my crash. There was a misunderstanding with a marshal when I was trying to get back to the box. It was a stressful moment and I reacted in a way that I shouldn’t have. 1/3

I apologise for my gesture. It wasn’t right, especially knowing that young fans are watching us. I have a lot of respect for the marshals and the work they do. 2/3

3/3 However, I’ve also received some very serious comments, including references to death and violence. I understand why people are upset by my reaction, but threats and abuse should never be acceptable. We can all make mistakes and I take responsibility for mine.

Almost, almost, almost! 😩 So close to Q2 again this morning and just one position away from the points in the Sprint. P13 ➡ P10. Lost some positions on the first lap but managed to fight back and enjoy some good battles! ✊

Ahhh this one hurts 😩 P11 and so close to go straight into Q2! We had a really good feeling on the bike today, with some strong pace and the potential to do even more. Frustrating to miss out but a lot of positives to take from today. We’re not done yet ✊🏼🇮🇩

P16. We managed the hard tyre for most of the race and in the final laps I was able to push, improve the pace and make two overtakes on the last lap. We gave our best with what we had today 😌

P21 ➡️ P13. We changed the direction with the setup and found a better feeling which allowed me to be more competitive in the Sprint. Still far from where we want to be but at least we found something today ✊🏼

A difficult weekend from start to finish. I tried to manage the tyre and was able to hold the lap time towards the end but today we didn’t have the pace to fight for more than P19. On the positive side, I’m happy to feel much better physically after last weekend 🩵

P18 in the Sprint after starting P20. I could recover a lot under braking but we were losing too much elsewhere to fight for more. It’s frustrating but we're giving all we have 🫨

P16 today but just 0.2s from the top 10. The feeling was better this afternoon and closer to what we’re looking for although we still need to improve the turning in a few areas. Small gaps. Q1 tomorrow ✊🏼

A shame to finish the weekend like this. I had a lot of head pain towards the end of the race and unfortunately had to retire with 10 laps to go. Always better to be safe than sorry. Not our weekend 🫠

We pushed a lot today but the feeling never really came. Still some work to do to understand how we can get more from this track. P18 today so Q1 tomorrow 🇸🇲

P19 ➡️ P13. Better in terms of position and the pace wasn’t bad but frustrating when you know you have more and can’t find a way through. 13 rounds down, 9 to go. We keep going ✊🏼
