THEY SAID

Laura Melandri: “It was an important race for us because we were coming from a game in which we had not expressed our game well. Today we are charged matches and we have shown to have character and our identity. At the end we gave up a bit, but they started to defend everything and have a high potential in all the fundamentals.
There is still a lot of work to do, but I think that today is a starting point.
We are finding ourselves slowly between us and we will have to make as many points as possible in the next two home races. We have a big margin of growth and we hope to continue like this ".
