Marc Marquez (1st, Honda): “Today is the most important victory of the year. A right-handed circuit means very difficult turns for me. I am growing up, there is progress. This result is special, it gives me confidence for the next two races but above all for the next season. I have to be calm, I’m coming back. In time everything goes well and everything will get even better. The step wasn’t real today. Pecco was going very fast. I saw 32 low and I don’t know how I managed to keep up with him. I saw a lap where he was very fast and then that’s the one where he crashed. I was putting pressure on him but he was the fastest driver of the day today. But today is not my day, it is Fabio’s. Congratulations, he deserves the title, he has had a spectacular season. Congratulations to him and Yamaha. We will try to put a spoke in the wheel next year “.
Pol Espargarò (2nd, Honda): “I knew what my pace and speed was, but today it was more difficult. At the rear I had problems under braking, I didn’t feel great. When I overtook Miguel I managed to have a good pace, unfortunately I lost Bagnaia and Marc at the beginning and I couldn’t catch them. I tried to keep my pace quietly. I saw that there were six or seven laps to go and that I could get to the podium and I was really tense, I couldn’t even brake. I just wanted to finish the race. I am delighted for the team and for everyone who worked hard to get me here. I am happy for me and for them“.
Enea Bastianini (3rd, Ducati Avintia): “I feel very strange. After yesterday’s qualifying I thought it would be impossible to get the same race-1 result. But then I pushed a lot and in the last part of the race my pace wasn’t bad at all, a bit like the first Misano. After Pecco crashed, I moved up to fourth position and I saw that Fabio was very close. I told myself that I had to give everything, push and go beyond the limit. On the last lap I did it and it was spectacular for me. I finished third, it’s a very strange podium for me “.
