Well, that didn't go too well did it?
Bit of a dud weekend for Alvaro really; reports suggesting he really wasn't comfortable the whole time.
Having qualified ninth, he came off on lap three - dropping him to the back of the field - recovering to seventeeth place by the end of the race.
It's a shame as I'd really been hoping for one of his full-on fightbacks up to something like a podium.
One to forget really... :(

He was complaining about a lack of confidence especially in the front of the bike all weekend.. sais its why he chucked it.
Definatley one to forget! :(
I hope he can enjoy his vacation (5 weeks! so long! how am i gonna live?!) now and that he'll be fresh and sharp for Brno. :)
5 weeks is way too long for me.... :(
but, yep, hopefully he'll be back and totally on the case :)
yes, he never really felt good on the bike all weekend and i think his face really showed.
gosh, five weeks until the next race! but it's good for bati i think, he said he'd need the time to relax now.
but hey, maybe i'm able to see him in brno then. :) but hopefully with a better result... ;)
