MOTEGI MOBILITY RESORT / TOCHIGI, JAPAN
MOTOGP I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
P70
1 FRANCESCO BAGNAIA
3RD/2ND MOTOGP
"It was a good race but very risky,"
Francesco Bagnaia said. "In the last
two or three laps, the aquaplaning
started to be too heavy; we were all
with the medium rear, so it was on
the limit. Before the interruption, I was
closing the gap to Jorge, but then I
made some mistakes and was close
to losing the front, and I was back to
the same gap as before. In any case,
we must be happy with this result.
We know perfectly well how risky it
is racing on the wet, and finishing
second is a good result. Now, with
three points between me and Jorge,
it becomes interesting, but I like it
because I think it could be a good
competition between us."
43 JACK MILLER
4TH/6TH MOTOGP
"Not the best day but also not the
worst and I'm happy we finished," Jack
Miller said. "It took some time for the
tires to get going in the first part, and
I managed to save the rubber while
gaining some time on the guys as the
rain started to fall harder. We made a
couple of tweaks to the bike to try and
challenge those boys for the restart,
but it wasn't meant to be today. Sixth
place today but I wanted more."
MYOWNRACE
Martin controlled the
Sprint Race for what
looked like an easy win.
It probably wasn't.
