"You can never be fully satisfied if
you don't win, but it was a good race,"
Bagnaia said. "I managed to recover
the feeling from yesterday, but I didn't
feel as competitive as the other two,
as they clearly had something extra
today. We surely have to keep work-
ing, but generally speaking, the week-
end went well—Sprint race aside—as
we have always been competitive
and fast. It was important to finish the
race here at Le Mans after the results
of the last two seasons here, so I'm
happy about this."

"I lost a bit of time with Diggia and
even before that with Vinales, who is
definitely not an easy one to pass,"
Marquez said. "Then, when I bridged
the gap to Martin and Bagnaia I was
expecting the latter to attack but in the
end he didn't, so I gave it a try. I had
something more in the last lap so I
took a gamble, and it worked."
Aleix Espargaro (41) had a yoyo of a weekend,
while Fabio Di Giannantonio (49) had his best
showing of the season to date.
