IIIMY OWN RACE:
9 DANILO PETRUCCI
DNF MOTOGP
"I am sorry about how the race went
today because we could have got a good
result," Danilo Petrucci said. "I did not ex-
pect the crash also because I don't think I
was doing a risky maneuver: probably the
res were already worn out and I dared
too much. I was chasing Dovizioso when
I suddenly slid out at turn two. Now my
goal is to get back figh ng for the top
posi ons, and I hope to be able to do so
already in the next race, on a race track a
li le more favorable to the characteris cs
of our Duca ."
20 FABIO QUARTARARO
1ST MOTOGP
"It was a tough race," MotoGP winner Fa-
bio Quartararo said. "To complete 25 laps
in front in these temperatures made it the
hardest race of my life! My hands and feet
were so hot and there was just no air to
cool you down. I felt really good on the bike
though. Even though we are at the same
circuit as last week, the condi ons are
different, and we had to adapt so quickly
to this. The first me I saw the gap to Val-
en no [Rossi] was 0.6 seconds, I thought
that it was me to push. Then on one lap I
looked back in turn six and couldn't believe
the advantage that I had pulled out. At this
point I knew I had to keep calm and just
finish the race. It was also amazing to be on
the podium with Valen no because he has
been my idol for so long."
