"It was a tough Race. We had hoped to make good use of the P3 and P9 grid positions, but Fabio and Álex were both blocked by other riders on the opening lap, which was a shame. They fought hard, putting in the maximum to keep their rivals at bay, and managed well whilst riding in a big group. Fabio was defending his position the best he could. At the end of the race, he created a gap between himself and Acosta, which cemented his position. Álex was hit on his arm by a stone on lap 7. He was in pain, which for sure didn't help him, but he rallied. He was fighting all race with Bastianini and Ogura, and he managed to overtake Ogura and Binder on the final lap. All in all, it wasn't an easy weekend, but we will keep pushing to continue a positive trajectory."
