“In the race, I knew that my strong point was the first five laps,” continues the reigning world champion and leader of the 2019 classification. “I gave everything and I saw the gap created: a second, then two seconds, then three, so I settled into my rhythm and attacked a little less. I managed the tires and the bike and I had a very soft feeling with the bike ".
, in the race and with almost a lead: it is clear that Marc Marquez achieved a spectacular full success at the 2019 Argentinian GP! The record is however less glorious for his teammate Jorge Lorenzo, only 12th…

Andrea Dovizioso, Ducati (3rd in qualifying and 3rd in race)
"I’m of course happy with the podium, that was our goal for this round on a historically difficult circuit for us. On the other hand, I’m not particularly happy with the performance of the rear tire because we couldn’t attack at the end of the race. race, contrary to what we had hoped for after testing ".
"In the last lap I couldn’t get rid of Rossi or overtake him, that would have been too risky. We have some interesting data that we will analyze in depth before the next race. Austin is an even trickier track for us theoretically, our the objective will therefore be to try to climb once again on the podium ".
Alex Rins, Suzuki (16th in qualifying, 5th in race)
"It was an amazing race! I didn’t make any mistakes which is fantastic considering the difficulty of the track and the lack of grip".
"I really need to improve my position on the starting grid in the next races. So I’m aiming for better qualifying sessions because my starting position really cost me dearly today, but I’m happy to win a Top 5 for me and for the team! "
Jack Miller, Ducati Pramac (5th in qualifying and 4th in race)
"I’m obviously happy with this result in Argentina, although I still lacked a bit of experience. I fought a lot with Petrucci and Morbidelli and it made me lose contact with the leading drivers . But all things considered it’s OK, because today we learned a lot. We are working very well and I thank the team for that ".
Danilo Petrucci, Ducati (10th in qualifying and 6th in race)
"I’m happy because after a few mistakes in qualifying we managed to give the best of ourselves on the track. 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. ".
"I’m still happy because we’ve done a good job here. I’m improving day by day and I want to maintain this trend in Austin, where I need to be stronger in qualifying first and foremost. Our goal is to consistently drive at the forefront. and to score points, it will be crucial in such a long season ".
Fabio Quartararo, Yamaha SRT Petronas (7th in qualifying and 8th in race)

Maverick Vinales, Yamaha Monster (2nd in qualifying and retirement in the race)
“I saw the replay of the incident with Franco and it was nothing. It was the last lap, we all tried to do our best, so it’s just a mistake and nothing more. to be that in the next race it will be me who will make the same mistake. This is understandable and it is not a problem ".
"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. Honestly, I feel good on all circuits and we are showing good potential. in the race we have a problem. But when the bike is there, I’m always in the top 3 ", concludes Rossi’s teammate.
Franco Morbidelli, Yamaha SRT Petronas (6th in qualifying and retirement in the race)
"The race went very well for us and we fought for the top positions as expected. I felt really strong in some parts of the circuit. I had a great time with Rossi, Miller and Crutchlow and it was a very good race until the last lap "…
“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. It’s important to take the positive points out of this race, so that we can stay at the same level and continue to improve. Yamaha and the team worked very well throughout the weekend: that’s what I will remember from this race. ".
Joan Mir, Suzuki (19th in qualifying and retirement in the race)
“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 "…
