Dutch GP – Assen – Quotes 250cc after race

1st Álvaro Bautista
“I am very happy about this result, above all because after the past two races when we weren’t able to win in the final moments. This victory is very important for us, because it gives confidence and continues our run of podium finishes. The conditions were difficult, and we had to tweak the bike five minutes before the race. The asphalt was dry, but they declared a wet race, and at the midway point I wasn’t going to push when leading. All except for Luthi were far back. It rained again and things were back to normal. Sooner or later this result was going to come, so we’ll try and continue this form, the desire to win remains as strong as ever for myself and the team.”

11th Héctor Faubel
“The weekend has been all good apart from the crash on Saturday afternoon. This affected our grid position, and put us far back. I was fifteenth, but started well. I touched a few riders, and watched a nice battle between Espargaro and Lai. Things went well apart from at the midway point, when the rain made things a bit more difficult, but in general I’m happy with how things have gone and we leave Assen with a good feeling. The best part of all is that we have discovered a great setting for the future.”
