Andrea Locatelli: "It was a fantastic weekend, yesterday we won and today we reconfirmed. I was able to gain ground in the early laps but then I had to stay focused to avoid making mistakes as the conditions were really difficult today. Three wins in three races are really an incredible result, but the rivals are close and we can't afford any distractions, we have to keep working in the right way as we have done so far. The team has given me a really good bike over the weekend, we are a united group and we are eager to have other days like this".
