#23 ENEA BASTIANINI – 10th position

“It’s been amazing! Unfortunately, I have not been able to activate the system that lowers the bike at the race exit so I could not get better. In the first few laps I felt a little tired, the power of the Ducati that I have to manage is a lot. It’s taken me a little while with the new tires to be behind the others, but in the end I feel better until I reach the tenth. I saw that I could reach seventh place, but five laps from the end I made a small mistake and failed the trajectory losing the possibility of overtaking. I am very happy with the result, we have worked very well. My goal was to finish in the Top 10 and I’ve made it.”

#10 LUCA MARINI (SKY VR46 AVINTIA TEAM) – 16th position.

“First race in MotoGP, I’m glad I finished it. I didn’t have speed, and I’ve had a worse felling than I had in the test, I was wasted a lot of time on the corner. Now we have a few days to analyze the data. I like the possibility of being able to run back here next week as I know we can improve a lot and get to be in best positions.”

RUBEN XAUS – SPORTS DIRECTOR

“It’s been a good weekend for the whole team. Bastianini, as his nickname says, has behaved like a “beast.” We knew that the first laps were important for don’t lose the rhythm . We have been the first private bike and the best debutante. I’m very happy for him and the team. These results reflect the work and constancy of the all team.
