Visibly satisfied, the Iberian commented warmly on his race, speaking in the mixed zone before the awards ceremony: “It was an incredible race. I lost a lot in the second round I think behind Pecco because I went straight without being able to brake, then I found myself battling with Espargaro but it wasn’t easy; In the end I tried to catch the rhythm and everything worked out.”
Then there was no shortage of the usual thanks to the Barcelona native: “I am really happy I have dedicated this second place to my son Lucas and my wife and all the people who have trusted me over the years“.
