ROAD RACE I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
P98
20 FABIO QUARTARARO
9TH/7TH MOTOGP
"It was hard, especially the first few
laps when it was starting to rain," said
Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy
Yamaha). "Usually, rain doesn't work
to our advantage, but I could stay
quite close to the top guys, so it was
good. I enjoyed the race. I didn't have
the feeling I expected, but the position
is good. I had the other riders in front
of me, so whatever they did, I was
following. At one moment, I was really
close to going into the pits for a bike
swap, but I saw that the majority of
them kept going, so I decided to stay
out. Luckily, the track dries superfast
here, so I think it was great."
5 JOHANN ZARCO
13TH/12TH MOTOGP
"I'm pleased with our strategic decision
to stay on the track after the initial rain,
which, thankfully, didn't escalate into
a full wet race," Johann Zarco (LCR
Honda) said. "We held onto the 12th
position, securing valuable points. It
was a calculated risk that paid off. The
race was a challenge due to the weath-
er conditions, and we didn't have the
speed to push and fight. Tomorrow's
test will be crucial, as we aim to make
significant progress."
