Danilo Petrucci, Ducati (10th in qualifying and 6th in race)

If I had started a little closer to the front I probably could have fought for the podium until ‘at the very end, but I had to ask a lot of the tires to get back into the peloton. On the last few laps I was really struggling with the rear under braking so I had to give up. ".

"The soft tires were certainly the right decision (Viñales is the only one to have started soft at the front and at the rear, Editor’s note): in the first lap, even if I did not start well, I could overtake a lot of drivers. Finally at the end of the first lap, I think I was third or fourth: so it was not a bad strategy "(if the race lasted one lap, yes … but you have to cover 25, Editor’s note!).

“However, my bike was not running perfectly so we have to keep working and see if we can fix our issues for the next race.

“I was fighting for the sixth position when I caught up with Viñales. I didn‘t want to try to overtake him, but I couldn’t brake properly due to the double aspi. Maybe that’s it, combined with his attempt. to cut to pass Petrucci, which led to the crash both of us. It’s a shame for both of us, but luckily we’re doing well.

“We’re still checking out what happened today, but I didn’t feel good with the rear grip right from the start of the race. I got off to a good start and when I was behind Alex, I was ready to follow him to get back into the peloton. I could have learned from him. This is the first time in my career that I have stopped at the pit, but I was really feeling something strange in the back "…
