My final race weekend of the season kicked off in what seems to be classic Barcelona fashion just as last year—wet, tricky, but once again very fun. FP1 was wet, and I actually enjoyed riding and finding grip as the track got better and better each lap. My pace dipped a bit in the afternoon and through the Friday sessions but overall the feeling was still good and i was getting faster.

Saturday morning session was going well until a touch of brake fade which was not ideal, but nothing too dramatic. I did have to pit once though, and that resulted in me having to leave the group that i was staying with at the time. Then came qualifying. Unfortunately once again I had almost complete brake failure. I had to come into the pits, and not really getting a proper lap in resulted in me qualifying at the back.

Race: Way more fun than my qualifying result suggested. I had a great launch, but someone stalled right in front of me and I had to brake, losing loads of position that i gained and ended up last into T1. After that, I settled in and had a great battle with two other riders, exactly the kind of wheel-to-wheel fun you want to end a season on.

After 3 amazing but tough seasons, I just want to send a massive thank you to my team Ilusion racing for the past three years and to all my sponsors for their support. Couldn’t have done any of it without you.
