Marco Bezzecchi - 72

I'm very happy, even if the podium was so close, but it was important to have another solid race with the strongest riders. A beautiful Sunday, I took a risk with the soft, I tried and it went well. The soft was the only compound that allowed me to brake as I wanted, it wasn't an obvious choice, but it was the right one for me. I only struggled the last two laps, everything went well. And now let's go to Asia, where there are practically all my favorite tracks on the calendar.

Fabio Di Giannantonio - 49

A tough weekend, I never managed to be perfect with the bike. The steps forward were too small and I wasn’t fast. The race today was difficult: after the crash on Friday, I wasn’t in great shape. I started to have pain in my left shoulder, then I started to lose sensitivity in my right forearm too. I just tried to get to the finish line. Let’s recover our energy, the next few weeks will be important with many races coming up. Let’s keep going, let’s not give up. Next stop Indonesia, in front of all our local fans.
