Confirmed the leadership among the Teams (285 points) with an advantage of 45 lengths over the rivals.

Luca Marini:

A very difficult race, the real problem is that the feeling wit the bike was not bad at all, but since I tried this new engine last week, I have started to really struggle in acceleration. I was unable to defend myself at the beginning, in the battle and I kept a very high pace on the long run. I did not expect a result of this kind, we have to understand what happened, prepare Valencia in the best way possible and get back to have fun.

 

Marco Bezzecchi:

A difficult race after a really complicated weekend. I didn’t have a bad start, I immediately found myself in a fight in the group and I have struggled to find my space. I didn’t feel good on the bike, I made several mistakes and in an attempt to recover I crashed. I’m very sorry for the Team and can’t wait to reset before Valencia. Let’s go back to work on the data to be competitive from the free practices and then in qualifying.
