Danilo Petrucci (official Ducati n ° 9), 3rd in qualifying, 1st in race and 5th in the championship

"I really wanted this victory ! When I realized that the pace in front was not too fast and that I was able to manage my speed in the front group, I said to myself that it was the right time to go. I tried to control the race by staying in the lead to avoid losing too many positions in the fight. I set the pace to preserve my strength and my tires for the final brawl. I was a little dreading the draw when we got into the last lap, but I managed to brake really hard and found a little gap between Andrea and Marc to regain the lead. Then I just attacked as hard as I could until the checkered flag. I owe a lot of this victory to Andrea, who took me under her wing this winter and gave me some great advice. Now we will continue to fight for the championship together ".

Marc Márquez (official Honda n ° 93) 1st in qualifying, 2nd in race and 1st in the championship

"Today was a defensive race and we did it to the best of our ability, because generally it is not a circuit that is very favorable to us. I stayed calm and waited to be able to try something in the last lap I tried but I missed the line in the first corner and the two (Petrucci and Dovizioso, Editor’s note) passed me. Petrucci drove very well at the front today, congratulations to him. My goal was to finish ahead of Dovizioso and Rins, it’s done so I’m happy. Congratulations also to my brother Álex, who also had a great race today. And as always, thank you to the Repsol Honda team who have worked hard to enable us to fight for victory here ".

Andrea Dovizioso (official Ducati n ° 4), 9th in qualifying, 3rd in race and 2nd in the championship

"It was a really exciting race, as is often the case at Mugello. Until the very last lap, everything went as planned. I got off to a good start and I was in a good position to handle the tires, always staying in the top 3 despite many overtaking in the leading group. My goal was to take the lead at the start of the last lap, but I had to straighten the bike out of turn 1 to avoid contact, lose positions and points. I’m a little disappointed because of that, but also very happy for Danilo who really deserved this victory. It would have been better to score a brace, but Marquez was very competitive here too. As far as we are concerned, we have had a little trouble at the start of the weekend but once again we managed to stay in the game until the end of the race. Now we are aiming higher and we will continue to work to improve ".

Alex Rins (official Suzuki n ° 42), 13th in qualifying, 4th in race and 3rd in the championship

“I don’t think I could have had a better result with a better grid position. I gained a lot of places in the first lap, but was wasting too much time in the straight. We knew it would be. the most difficult sector for us and it’s a bit of a shame, but I gave it 100% and I attacked really hard. I tried to pass Dovizioso in the last corner, but he had a little more traction than me. Anyway, I’m happy with this 4th place which will help me for the championship! "

Takaaki Nakagami (Honda LCR n ° 30), 10th in qualifying, 5th in race and 9th in the championship

"It was an incredible day and an incredible race! I was very strong from the start although I know this is one of my weak points. Until now, in all races I was losing positions afterwards. a few laps and I was fighting to come back up, but today I started really well and tried to keep my position. In the end I knew that Viñales was attacking really hard, but I never gave up and I fought This is my best result (at Mugello, his best result until yesterday was his 6th place in, Editor’s note), I am second Honda and fifth at the finish, it’s incredible! ‘wasn’t expecting it, it’s a fantastic weekend for me and I want to thank the team who did a great job all weekend. The bike worked really well. ".

Maverick Viñales (official Yamaha n ° 12), 7th in qualifying, 6th in race and 8th in the championship

"Today I had a lot of trouble, I had no feeling with the bike during the race and the tires were very slippery. I tried to attack while preserving the tires as well as possible, but anyway it wasn’t enough. I don’t think we should be fighting for sixth place, we need to be more offensive. I really don’t know what to expect for Montmeló (the Catalan GP in 15 days It’s clear that during practice we can be competitive, but in the race it’s another story. Our bike has a lot of trouble when we lack grip. We must therefore continue to work to see if we can improve the feeling and make progress ".

Cal Crutchlow (Honda LCR n ° 35), 6th in qualifying, 8th in race and 7th in the championship

"It was a very difficult day, possibly the worst race of my season. Once again I was in the leading group, but I lost ground, which had not happened to me in previous years. . I had a bad feeling with the bike on the angle changes that lasted all weekend. I just couldn’t be competitive in this area. Then, about 14 laps from the end, I had I felt a big deterioration in the rear tire and I was unable to keep up my pace until the finish. After the race we looked at the situation with the team and Michelin and we noticed unusual wear on the rear tire. so let’s continue to analyze it and I’m sure Michelin will try to understand why this happened. I’m happy to finish the race and take some points after this difficult day, but it’s not at all to this place that I have to finish ".

Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia n ° 41), 15th in qualifying, 11th in race and 13th in the championship

"I got off to a good start, but unfortunately in the first lap Zarco had some pretty daring contacts which made me lose time. Regarding my pace, I fought with Pol and Pirro in the top 10 , but despite a good feeling today I was struggling to overtake. It’s a shame. Without the first contact we could certainly have finished in the top ten. The conditions were demanding today. It was very hot and there wasn’t a lot of grip. But given our starting position, finishing 20 seconds behind the leader is a good result. ".

Joan Mir (official Suzuki n ° 36), 20th in qualifying, 12th in race and 15th in the championship

"I’m happy to score a few points today, even though it’s not in the position I was aiming for or thought I could reach with my potential this weekend. The contact between Valentino and I cost me around 7 seconds and that’s what kept me from finishing in the top 10. Anyway, I want to thank the team for all the hard work this weekend. I feel good and I know that the results will come ".

Jorge Lorenzo (official Honda n ° 99) 17th in qualifying, 13th in race and 14th in the championship

“It was more or less what we expected today. I was not fast enough and I was not comfortable on the bike to be more competitive. We made a modification to the warm-up which has been positive in some areas. It is neither better nor worse than we thought, but neither I nor Honda are giving up on the idea of ​​progressing and finding a solution together. Now I will go in Japan to work with Honda on certain improvements in order to come back stronger ".

Andrea Iannone (Aprilia n ° 19), 23rd in qualifying, 15th in race and 20th in the championship

"I’m pretty happy, especially with my pace at the start of the race. Starting a long way off the grid, I was able to fight and gain a lot of ground, even on Aleix who is my point of reference. Unfortunately, in the last laps we got in the way with Mir and Zarco. We wasted time and let those behind us come closer. It was clearly not the Mugello that I expected, but our goal is the long term: getting to know the bike better and better ".

Valentino Rossi (official Yamaha n ° 46), 18th in qualifying, retirement in the race and 5th in the championship

"It was a very difficult weekend because I was always very slow. We expected to be more competitive so it was difficult to deal with. I also made a mistake during practice which got me start very far on the grid. In the race, my pace was not fantastic. I tried to overtake Mir, but he tried to resist and unfortunately we touched each other. Fortunately we didn’t fall, but we did. left in the gravel. After I tried to attack to get back up but I lost the front and I fell … This difficult weekend ended badly, especially since it was at Mugello, but it ‘s like that. We will try to do better ".
