"First race I got a good start but ran wide and Anstie also ran wide and went off the track," Strijbos explained. "I just about saved it but lost a lot of positions. My riding though, I just couldn‰Ûªt push, I didn‰Ûªt have any energy or anything. I don‰Ûªt know what was wrong. It was better in the second moto as again I got a good jump off the metal mesh but then they moved past me when we got on the soil and I couldn‰Ûªt make it up.
"It‰Ûªs something we have to work on but overall I felt way better than the first moto, I felt strong, I felt good, but it‰Ûªs so difficult to pass, I think I spent the whole race behind Jeffrey Herlings. He‰Ûªs a smart rider and knows how to protect his lines but I tried and the team could see I tried. The result is not great but we are going to stay positive and keep the positive things in mind for next week and we shall see what happens in Indonesia.‰Û
