Axel Zingle: “I was over-motivated throughout the race”
“I am very happy with this victory! I was impatiently waiting to win this season, to show that I could win, that I fight every day to win races. I really wanted to do well and we knew it was a good weekend to score points. I was over-motivated throughout the race and it’s a feeling that was shared by the whole team. We were able to bear the weight of the race. In the final, Anthony (Pérez) attacked at the right time, I had to stay well placed to manage my sprint. It’s a great satisfaction. From now on, we will prepare for tomorrow’s race. And if we can win, we won’t deprive ourselves of it!”explain Axel Zingle in comments reported by his training.
