Statements

Joan Mir

“A tricky weekend comes to an end, but we knew this would be the case for us at this track. We’re trying a few things here this weekend that will help us a lot in the future, but this weekend was complicated. I am confident that we will be stronger in the next races and be able to return to what we were doing in the first race. Let’s keep working and focusing on the long term, a step is coming.”

Luca Marini

“Today was my best race as a Honda rider, I was feeling very strong at the start. I was behind Nakagami in the slipstream a lot and this was raising the temperature of the front. I felt more pace but couldn’t overtake him and honestly, he was riding well. The spin we had here is always difficult for all riders, so we can’t lose our focus and be smart on where to work. I think we are doing this as the bike is improving and I am feeling better. There’s more to come.”
