1ST/4TH MOTOGP
"I wanted to do three or four calmer
laps because when the rear tire
is new, it pushes the front a lot,"
Marc Marquez said. "That overtake
disrupted our race, and after that I
couldn't get close enough to pass Di
Giannantonio. When I finally did, in
that corner where the asphalt was al-
ready starting to lift, I almost crashed.
I ran wide over the curb and decided
to give up the position to bring home
the points."

14TH/8TH MOTOGP
"We're back, but I'm not completely
happy," Aldeguer said of his first race
back since breaking his leg. "The po-
tential was there to be further ahead,
but physically I need more time. I'm
sure tomorrow I'll wake up with quite
a lot of pain all over my body, and I'll
appreciate today's result even more.
Yesterday we got the start wrong.
Today I started more calmly, but I lost
ground. Maybe I thought too much
at the beginning, and I should have
attacked more."
