Andrea Iannone (Pramac Racing) “I started well, I battled with Marc and I felt comfortable with my bike. Then unfortunately I crashed. I’m sorry for what happened because I could have fought for the podium. I took the same line as Marc but coming out of the corner, I was a bit wider out of the curb where there is synthetic grass it. I was about to crash because of a high-side but I managed to get the bike under control. But after that I was on the grass at a very high speed without being able to use the brakes and I crashed. It was a difficult situation. Now I want to think about the next race hoping to repeat or improve the result of qualifying and then close the weekend in beauty. “ Yonny Hernandez (EnergyT.I. Pramac Racing) “I am very disappointed with my race because I threw away the chance to get back into the top ten. I quickly found a good rhythm, then when it started to rain, I decided to return to the pit lain but the last corner I crashed. when I got back on the bike made anther lap throwing away precious time. I can say I learned a lesson so next time I will not make these mistakes. Let’s hope fora good race in Motegi. “ photo from Motorcyclist Home | Motorcyclist Read the whole post here.
