"When I arrived already on Friday the
setup of the bike was so good and
today I started better than Saturday
and it was the first time like I felt I
could fight on the bike, I was push-
ing until the end to catch Fabio but I
just missed it," Chantra said. "Thank
you to everyone who helped me this
weekend, I really appreciate the faith
that Honda HRC put in me, and I am
so happy to give them this result."

6TH/3RD MOTOGP
"I gave it everything in today's race
and came away with the best pos-
sible result," Bezzecchi said. "It was
a really hard-earned podium, as
Bastianini was very quick, especially
towards the end. It was tough to keep
him behind, but I enjoyed it and I'm
happy with the result. I really wanted
to make up for what happened yester-
day. Since the injury, I've had to build
up day by day at almost every week-
end, while Jorge and Marc have been
a little faster. Now I have to close that
gap and take my chances when they
come."
