“Crazy race, P8 in the end from P15 with a long lap but was a hard fight to catch the front after the penalty. Anyways results don’t matter today my thoughts are with the family and friends of Hugo Millán that sadly passed away RIP.”

“It doesn’t sound the best on paper but I’m very happy with the progress made with in myself this weekend. Now we can take this on board for the future. Anyways this all doesn’t matter at all. Today was another horrific day for motorsport. We lost a young little up and coming superstar Hugo Millan in a tragic accident in the ETC race an hour before the Moto3 race. I send all my love and strength to Hugo’s Family and loved ones. This Sport gives us all so much but can also take away everything in a heart beat. You will be missed Hugo.”
