Andrea Locatelli 'never lost focus' for WorldSBK win

“I think it’s a good moment for me, my career, the w🧸hole team because we were believing for many, many years.

“With Yamaꦛha, we never lost the focus. We were working really hard every weekend and𓆏 finally at Assen, we got my first victory.

“I think we des🐬erved it, and it was a good moment, especially at this point in the seas🌳on.

“I want to continue to trust and push hard because I need more. I feel like I’m a bit angr💜y, so I’ll keep pushinꦜg like this and try to do more.

“This was quite strange because I saw he was slowing down after the finish line. I was thinking that he thinks we’ve already taken the chequered flag, because in the pastꦬ, we’ve seen some races where this happened.
