Marco Bezzecchi
It was a great battle, especially with Johann (Zarco). A series of overtakings, but then the temperature of the tire in front was unbelievable and I couldn't stop the bike. I made some mistakes in the final, today was the hottest day of the weekend, the worst conditions. I have struggled, then when you're in the slipstream for so long, the bike becomes unmanageable.

Andrea Iannone
I'm tired, physically I mean, I gave my all. I enjoyed it, even today, the goal was to get to the finishing line without making mistakes. We showed over the weekend that we had some good potential at times. I'm definitely happy, thanks to the Team and Ducati, it was beautiful, a great gift.
