DNF/15TH
"I got hit by an opponent at turn one
and dropped down to last position,"
Marquez said. "I then overtook two
riders before performing the long-lap
penalty and was back to last once
again. We scored one point and
we're eager to get back in action
in Thailand and Malaysia. We're
struggling a bit too much in recent
races and it's time to keep pushing in
order to finish the year with the best
feeling."

4TH/3RD MOTOGP
"Obviously, I'm not happy with the
result, but we could have hardly
done any better today," Francesco
Bagnaia said. "We managed to
improve a little compared to yester-
day, and I did all I could to stay with
Jorge [Martin] and Marc [Marquez]
but ended up struggling on corner
entry—and they were simply better
than us today. The next two circuits
on the calendar are usually better for
me feeling-wise, and we'll make sure
to be ready."
