"I gave the first moto everything, and I guess I was a little drained in the second moto. I‰Ûªm still getting used to the GP format," he added.
"I feel I showed my true potential in the first moto, but the second race was hard for me. It‰Ûªs been an amazing GP, more like a supercross with the crowds being so close to the track.
"After the first three GPs I feel like I‰Ûªve learned so much and we‰Ûªve made some great steps forward with the bike. I‰Ûªm looking forward to racing in Europe now.‰Û
