Marco Bezzecchi - 72

A good race, a little better than yesterday even though I got stuck in traffic at the start. The start was good, then I was touched by Alex (Marquez) and had to recover. In the first 6/7 laps I overtook the Aprilia and then Jack (Miller), not for the top positions, but it was fun. I had good feelings in the overtaking and, in the final, I got closer to Franco and Brad (Morbidelli and Binder) and I also Fabio (Di Giannantonio) was in my slipstream. Overall, a solid weekend.

Fabio Di Giannantonio - 49

I had a really good pace, I could have fought for the Top5, I'm a bit sorry about that, but the start was a jungle. In the battle I lost a lot of positions, then I recovered. I definitely put on a good show even if the final result, in terms of positions, is not fantastic. I'm satisfied, it's the first weekend in which I felt good on the bike. I am back to riding smooth and being fast. We are going home, we have a medical check on Wednesday to get another opinion on the current condition of the left shoulder.
