Marc: Alex has already been through… I love you asking me about Alex because, because it’s always the other way around.

Izaskun: it’s because we always ask him about you, now I will ask Marc every day about Alex.

Marc: Alex is in the process, I mean, during recovery, it’s like you are coming out of surgery, first week everything is dark, second week… And he’s already at the point where you have to keep him on a short leash. Eh he’s starting to feel better, he wants, well, to start doing things, to start preparing physically, but well, he has a great team of doctors, physios, that are setting the deadlines for him and logically, to come back as soon as possible, but with a guarantee.

Marc: Jejeje we're working on that, we're working on that. This circuit, being left handed, you know very well that I was good at them, at least we have taken a little step. I'm happy because we have taken a little step on the left side, because at the beginning of the season, I didn't even have left turns.

So, this time, I felt it a bit in Mugello. At least, on left turns, I'm starting to play with the body better. Now I need to improve right side corners, but that.... it will come.

Marc: Hm.

Izaskun: I don’t know if with that wide advantage, although you are not 100% physically fit, it’s enough to think that this weekend you will be able to opt… or are you going to tell us to hold our horses?

Marc: Hm, could we opt for it? Yes, but it’s not the right time, so I’m not going to fall into that trap or at least try not to fall into that tap. Just start FP1, eh, face it like Mugello. Ehm, it’s been only 4 days, we’ll get on that bike, in four days the body… there’s no superman on this earth and the body doesn’t perform miracles, but it does adapt, so well, we will try and go. Eh, it’s true that mm, maybe the corners are more favorable than those in Mugello. It’s not such a physically demanding circuit. There are many changes in directions, but smaller ones. I mean, at a lower speed, eh, so these are not so physically demanding and this well, will be a great help.

Izaskun: keep that up with the helmet on too, eh!

Marc: Yes yes yes. There… I repeat this to myself here, many times and even before getting on the bike, so later when I pull the visor down, I don’t… I don’t get too hot headed.
