ROUND 8 / JUNE 23-25, 2023 TT CIRCUIT ASSEN / ASSEN, NETHERLANDS MOTOGP I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P74 1 FRANCESCO BAGNAIA 2/1 MOTOGP "Sincerely, today was quite tough, very long and the conditions were critical for the tires," Bagnaia said. "This morning in the warmup, everything was perfect but this afternoon the rear tire was slid- ing around. I thought it was just me, but then I saw it was more or less the same for everyone. To be honest, I prefer the longer race, because you have to administer and control everything more; I feel better doing that because sometimes in the shorter race you take too many risks. We've improved a lot in consistency in the last few races, we must continue like this." 23 ENEA BASTIANINI 8/DNF MOTOGP "I think I could have gotten a good result because my sensations were good, only that I'm still lacking corner turn-in, when I try to do a bit more the bike closes in," Bastianini said. "The '23 bike behaves differently from last year's, we still need to adjust, but I think that during this weekend we made some important changes. My setup from last year unfortunately didn't work so we had to start from scratch. Now I'm going on vacation, with a bit of a bad taste in the mouth because of the result!" MYOWNRACE
