ALEX MARQUEZ #73
“Honestly, we did our best, we just didn’t have the pace to take the fight to Marc and we knew we could have been competitive against Bagnaia, at least on the sprint-race distance. Generally speaking, it was already an excellent Saturday from the morning. Thing will be a bit more complicated tomorrow, but we must at least aim at a repeat performance. The factory riders have something more, but we studied them, and we’ll continue to do so to try and stay with them also tomorrow. We’ll do our race and look for consistency, which the most important thing.”
 
FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
“I’m happy with having completed my first sprint race. I struggled, because this is a new experience for me but it helped head of tomorrow. I made many mistakes on track, I wasn’t used to race with so many riders ahead of me, but we’re happy. If we can find a couple of tenths tomorrow, then we’ll be competitive, the top ten would be an acceptable result.”
