"I prefer a motor with a good engine brake, because Yamaha is working on improving performance when turning," said the Spaniard.

"In the speed sector, we did not encounter any obstacles, so when I lost some time, I could not record a lot of fun," he said.

"That's why I always repeat the engine brake, which is a very important aspect for me," he added.
