Marc Marquez, official Honda n ° 93 (1st in qualifying and 1st in race)

"Here at Le Mans it’s always difficult because of the temperatures and the weather, especially today. I think it’s the first time I’ve been racing with the soft tire up front, but it was the wiser option. I wanted to be consistent first and then when I saw that I was widening the gap I attacked a little more in 1’32 until I was two seconds ahead . I’m happy with this result and it’s great to have won the 300th Honda victory in the premier class! "

Andrea Dovizioso, official Ducati n ° 4 (4th in qualifying and 2nd in race)

"I’m happy with my result because the conditions have been very difficult all weekend. We managed to take second place, both in the race and in the championship, but you have to stay focused and try to improve further if we want to fight Marquez to the end. I couldn’t keep up his pace until the finish because the rear tire deteriorated a bit too much. In the last laps, I also had to counter the return of Danilo (Petrucci, his teammate, Editor’s note). It was a good fight and I’m not surprised by his speed because I know him well. We got the best possible result and the championship is still open. I’m impatient to race in two weeks at Mugello, a circuit that we know quite well and where we have obtained good results in recent years ".

Danilo Petrucci, official Ducati n ° 9 (2nd in qualifying and 3rd in race)

"It was a great race and I’m really happy to finally get back on the podium, exactly a year after the last time (editor’s note). I was rather competitive in the last races but not in qualifying, which made me feel better. prevented from being more efficient in the race. This time we managed from the first row, but I made a few mistakes in the first laps and lost some ground. At one point I even went down to sixth place, but I tried to stay calm and focused, attacking as much as possible to close the gap. Towards the end, Andrea and I had a spectacular fight: he was stronger than me in acceleration while I was regaining some ground under braking, but I was never close enough to conclude. On the other hand, it would have been foolish to take such risks between teammates. This double podium is an excellent result for the whole team and we will now try to start over at Mugello ".

Alex Rins, official Suzuki n ° 42 (19th in qualifying and 10th in race)

"It was a difficult weekend… Qualifying went badly, the strategy was bad, etc. Honestly, I was hoping for better this weekend. I started the race with a lot of hope, but in the end I had to deal with some difficulties, especially entering the turn, and I was only able to finish 10th. These 6 points are important, especially since it was easy to crash today – there was a lot crashes in all three races. There are still a lot of races left and I’m ready for Mugello ".
