MOTOGP FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 8 / SEPTEMBER 25-27, 2020 CIRCUIT DE BARCELONA CATALUNYA / BARCELONA, SPAIN P72 IIIMY OWN RACE: 20 FABIO QUARTARARO 1ST MOTOGP "This is the best moment that I have had in a long me!" Quartararo said. "We have had some tough mes since Jerez, so this actually feels be er than those wins. I was not expec ng to be so fast in the opening laps, but those two guys [Joan Mir and Alex Rins] were so fast at the end of the race. We need to look at why we are strug- gling at the end of the race. We know that our bike is be er in qualifying, so we need to balance this a bit be er, but at the end of the day the race result is the most important thing and we won." 73 ALEX MARQUEZ 13TH MOTOGP "A difficult race today," Marquez said. "We were expec ng warmer condi- ons and we couldn't use the so front; we went with the medium. That was my mistake, I pushed the team hard to use the medium but during the race the temperature dropped a lot. In the first laps I lost a lot of me a er my good start, then in the middle of the race I felt be er but in the end I slowed again. It's my mistake, some mes this happens as a rookie and I have been able to learn from this."
