ROUND 3 / APRIL 14-16, 2023 CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS / AUSTIN, TX MOTOGP I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P74 20 FABIO QUARTARARO DNF/3 MOTOGP "Today was really tough," Quartararo said on Sunday. "I was struggling, but I had to fight hard on the first laps because the podium wouldn't be pos- sible if I lost positions in the opening stages. I did my best, and I'm really happy because I'm coming back after a few really tough races. You know, the team works so hard, and they try to keep me calm—that's not an easy job. It feels good to be back in parc fermé, and hopefully more of these visits will be coming." 36 JOAN MIR 12/DNF MOTOGP "Overtaking on this track is always a challenge and I crashed while trying to battle with Morbidelli," Mir said. "Everyone has good grip in the first laps, so it is hard to find an advan- tage early in the race. I was fine after the crash, it's certainly a shame because we could have had a really good result here. The important point from this weekend is that we found something with the bike that I think can help us a lot in the future. It's the best feeling I have had with this bike so far, so we are focusing on this as we move towards Jerez." MYOWNRACE
