Joan Mir – DNF
“During the start I had made some progress and was with the group fighting for the top ten. I was happy with my speed and breaking away from the riders behind and my feeling was improving with every lap. I was trying hard in Sector 1 to recover the time I was losing in other parts of the track and in turn three I leant just a little bit too much and lost the front. I am a rider that is always going to try for more, and sometimes this means we fall. That ended our race. We can see the areas we need to work during the break.”
Luca Marini – 17th
“This weekend was full of bad luck for us, in today’s race I had the pace to fight with Zarco. Augusto Fernandez made contact with me early in the race and I went into the gravel, losing a lot of time. I really thing I had the potential to finish in the points. It’s clear that we need to keep on working and I think a fast track like Assen gives us some insight into what areas are most critical. It’s really good to have Sachsenring now, to have a better race before another break.”
