Post-Race Quotes From Germany; 250cc

3rd Álvaro Bautista:
“I think that today we had a very good result. The first two laps were very slow for me because II just couldn’t find any feeling, and the bike was stepping out on the front and rear. At the start it was hard to ride, but as the race went on I felt stronger and more confident as I tried to make up positions. I am happy with the result, but above all I am pleased to have been able to bounce back from a difficult position. At the end of the race I was set on second, but then the pace picked up and I didn’t want to take a big risk. It was much more important to finish third than to take a gamble and not finish.”

Héctor Faubel:
“In the practice sessions all weekend I was going well. We reverted to the configuration that we used in Catalunya, and every little change made me feel better with the Aprilia. In the dry I felt strong enough to be in the trailing group, and it’s a pity that it rained when it did. We weren’t able to see the true potential of our hard work. The result today serves to improve our experience in the category and in the wet, and the tracks that are coming up after the summer break are ones that I like and think that I will continue to do well at.”
