1st Alex Rins
“Winning here has been very special. The race was difficult because I had to stay focused throughout the race to avoid mistakes. I felt comfortable all weekend and I feel strong for the next races. “

6th Luis Salom
“The race was good. I started the weekend a little bad and I improved. We’ve done a pretty good job. When I reached Zarco I overtook him, but he returned to overtake me and I lost two seconds. When I passed him I continued with my pace and was gradually taking Nakagami and Simeon. At the end I passed very close to them but there were not enough laps. I’m happy and I want to thank the team for the job. “
