#23 ENEA BASTIANINI – 9th
“I’ve had the opportunity to study the other riders, I was late, but I’ve made it. On the last lap I have been the fastest of the grid. I have been able to race the bike in the right way avoiding movement and achieved the best result of the season so far; I am very satisfied with the work we have done. I´m headed to Jerez convinced of our potential and knowing that we can be in the first positions.”
#10 LUCA MARINI (SKY VR46 AVINTIA TEAM) – 12th
“I’m not happy with today’s race and the pace: I was half a second slower than what we have shown in the free practices and we need to analyse the data to understand the race. A positive pace since Friday but something happened today . Overall, I am happy, a growing weekend where we have worked well with the whole Team. I am angry about the race, we need to fix these things because in Qatar too we have struggled more in the long run than in the practices”.
