So then I was too far away at Turn 1, it was like elastic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy idea was to attack him on the start, but now with that new grid rules with more space between the riders, it\u2019s quite difficult to gain a position if the other one didn&#8217;t make a big mistake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for the rest, it\u2019s a result that I needed after the crash in Montmel\u00f3.
