3RD/2ND MOTOGP
"I'm very happy," Fernandez said. "The
race was good, we managed to do
well, and I feel comfortable with the
bike. I still don't have everything un-
der control, but we are on the way to
understand everything. Until the last
six laps I tried, but I had to be careful
with the rear tire, as it was almost
done. Anyway, it was a great result,
and if we have the possibility to fight
for the podium, we have to try, and we
managed to do it here."
10 LUCA MARINI
10TH/10TH MOTOGP
"I think the race was tough for every-
one, not so much from the tempera-
ture and the physical side because
this is what we train for, but you really
had to manage everything with the
bike to arrive to the end," Marini said.
"After four laps we weren't able to
brake as we'd like, which made the
race very long, as that is our stron-
gest point normally. I made a really
good start but then lost three posi-
tions on the straight quite soon after.
Everyone from about fifth to 14th has
a very similar pace, so if you miss
something in qualifying or early in the
