P54

15TH/DNF MOTOGP
"My season ended like it started," said
Enea Bastianini. "It was very difficult
today, my speed was not bad but my
confidence with the front tire was too
strange, and I entered turn one like
the lap before, probably a bit faster to
close the gap with Raul (Fernandez),
but I lost the front and crashed. It was
an unlucky day and an unlucky result,
now Tuesday we start with a new
adventure."

18TH/7TH MOTOGP
"It was a great comeback from 19th
on the grid," Franco Morbidelli ex-
claimed. "It was a great way to finish
our journey together (with Yamaha).
We had a lot of ups and downs, may-
be more downs than ups, but in this
second year together we did great in
many races, and I'm happy with the
way we finished the championship
and the way we managed this sea-
son. We finished every race, we saw
the checkered flag in every Sprint and
Race, we were consistent, we were
solid and I'm happy about that."
MYOWNRACE

done in the Sprint
Race from Brad

to come.
Lap one, turn one and Bagnaia bolts
from pole to take an early lead.
