“The first race was in the afternoon, when there was 30 degrees. I started as 18th and finished as 12th, beating the Slovenian girl by only 0.6 seconds. I loved every meter of the race! We had a great battle for the first and second place, we were overtaking each other even in the last laps. I have got overcome by emotions during the ceremony after the race, I shed some tears for the anthem. The second race was in the night, by lamplight, at ten o’clock. I had some technical difficulties at the beginning, when I shifted back, many times it dropped to neutral, so I lost a significant amount of time. After the third laps, I started to shift back smoothly, so I was able to work on my position. I had to overtake many other biker, including racers with bigger motors, who were faster than my old R6 from 2006 in straights, but I was on them in the turns. I finished 13th in aggregate and second in my category. It was a wonderful experience to race in the night, I am indescribably happy! “
