His shoulder is still causing him a lot of pain, and there's nothing he can do about it. « It's a vicious circle. First you feel the pain, it increases, then it decreases when you rest. But then it starts again with a vengeance. I hope I won't be bothered at the Grand Prix. » he continued. Unfortunately, he risks suffering over a distance twice as long. Last year, he had no way of resting his injured shoulder while running, not even in a straight line. Imagine the ordeal.

Despite these difficulties and adversity, "Diggia" sees enormous potential in himself. His ambition is matched only by his talent. “Yesterday I made some mistakes during the race. I was even too aggressive in certain circumstances.. But we are satisfied, because Pecco was not far away. I think those in front should be worried, because we have a good pace and we can manage the tires well. I think I might be the outsider » he concluded. It's incredible to be so optimistic when your back is against the wall, and that commands respect.
