garo said. "The Aprilia had trac-
tion here and I knew that I had
some margin over Bagnaia on
some corners. I preferred wait-
ing until the final lap, especially
when I saw a few drops of rain.
There were some really slippery
spots and it would have been
easy to make a mistake. Besides
that, I noticed that Pecco was
managing his tires and I didn't
want to risk being beaten in the
finale. I am extremely happy for
myself and for Aprilia. In the first
part of the season, we did not
earn the points we expected and
deserved for various reasons,
but we kept believing and work
-
ing. This is the right path."
"We started with the soft tire
because the conditions weren't
the best, and we were a bit on
the limit at the front," Bagnaia
said. "Then it started to rain,
and I could not understand how
much I could push. I was quite
scared in some parts of the
track because it was raining a
bit too much. I tried to control
everything and stay in front, but
I saw that Aleix was with more
traction, and I was losing time in
acceleration. I tried everything,
but it wasn't enough, but I am
happy with the result and with
the weekend, as today was a
good day."
In the championship, Bagnaia
has 214 points to Martin's 173
and Bezzecchi's 167.
