IIIMY OWN RACE: 88 MIGUEL OLIVEIRA 1ST MOTOGP "I felt good and we had no issues with re wear on the rear and it worked well," said first- me winner Miguel Oliveira. "I was glad that the race stopped because it meant I could change my front and I went with the hard and immediately felt be er on the braking points and could go quicker, this meant I could push more and was finally able to step on to the first posi on." 36 JOAN MIR 4TH MOTOGP "Today I really didn't have luck on my side, but the posi ve thing is that I was really fast," Joan Mir said. "The truth is that on the last corner Pol went out very wide, outside the track limits, and opened the gas. I didn't see it very well, but I thought that he would be penalized by Race Direc- on for that. It's a big shame and I'm unhappy about the inconsistency in the rules. I felt great all weekend, and in the first race I felt I could win for sure, but in the restart, I had to go out on the used re and it was very hard to hold off the other riders. I gave all I could, but in the end I couldn't do be er than fourth." MOTOGP FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 5 / AUGUST 21-23, 2020 RED BULL RING / SPIELBERG, AUSTRIA P72
