6TH/DNF MOTOGP
"I want to apologize to all my fellow
riders involved in today's incident
during the first lap of the race," Jorge
Martin said. "I lost control of my bike,
and unfortunately, that caused a
multi-rider crash that I couldn't avoid.
Most importantly, thank God, we are
all okay. In situations like this, that's
all that really matters. I am so sorry
for the impact this accident may
have had on them, their teams, and
their careers. You never want to be
involved in a situation like this."
63 FRANCESCO BAGNAIA
9TH/3RD MOTOGP
"Luckily, when I released the clutch,
the rear tire spun slightly; otherwise,
I would have been caught up in the
turn-one incident as well," Francesco
Bagnaia said. "I managed to overtake
Moreira and Marini straight away and
then tried to stay with Pedro [Acosta],
but I wasn't able to match their lap
times as I continued to struggle with
grip. When they started to push
harder, I focused on managing my
margin over the riders behind. The
podium is a good result, especially
after the difficult start to the weekend,

letting Acosta get a
