"It has been quite a rollercoaster today. The crash on the sighting lap by Fabio made everthing a bit more complicated because, according to the regulations, if Fabio had entered pit lane, he would have had to start from pit lane with a different tyre specification and would have been handed a ride-through penalty. So, we had to tell him to go to the starting grid, and we prepared the bike there, changing the set-up from dry to wet. But then the start got delayed. The first bike was damaged, so we had to start the Race with the second bike, which hadn't been used by Fabio all weekend. We didn't have the time to change this bike from wet to dry. Basically, Fabio raced with a hybrid bike: a mix of wet and dry. With the bike like that, we didn't know very well what was going to happen. On top of this. it seems that he received some unusual notification on his YZR-M1's dashboard, which led to him riding the race in low-power mode, and we need to understand why this alert occurred. Álex found himself in a similar situation as the day before, during the Sprint. He showed a stronger pace at the end of the Race, but he unfortunately had lost a lot of time at the beginning. One silver lining is that yesterday and today Yamaha took a fifth and a sixth place. We are seeing progress, and this is important. We will try to build onto this for the next GP weekend in Qatar in two weeks' time."
