Joan Mir – DNF
“Things out of our control limited our race today. We entered the weekend with a lot of confidence because I like this circuit a lot, but our feeling never improved. At the end of the race, I went to overtake Aleix Espargaro because I saw Nakagami was coming, but the rear was moving a lot and I fell. I am okay. We go to the next race and aim to do our best as always. It’s all we can do, keep working for the future.”
Luca Marini: 14th
“I am satisfied with our weekend, quite happy. The race was incredible, the pace was unbelievable and when you are riding here with the sun like it was – it is just a pleasure. At the start it was a bit chaotic, I lost some positions when I got pushed wide and I needed to work very hard to warm the left side of the tyre – this meant we couldn’t fight in the start. When the rear was ready, I was able to be very competitive on the times, but the other riders were quite far. My feeling is improving every race and I’m very motivated for the next race already. When we look at the picture of the season, we have to be happy with where we have arrived to.”
