Chinese GP – 250cc – Quotes

Héctor Faubel:
“This morning the weather changed, making it a wet race, so we decided to use a softer setting. The first ten laps saw me move up to seventh with Pasini and Aoyama, but when the track began to dry then my tyre started going off as expected. Overall it has been a good weekend, because we finished in the top ten. It could have gone better, but I’m thinking of France and the next step.”

Álvaro Bautista:
“This wasn’t what we were expecting from this race. We dominated the practice sessions and were the stronger team over the weekend. This morning in the wet warmup I was comfortable, and in the race I put myself in the lead, but the wet is a lottery and this time it was my turn to lose out I suppose. It’s a pity, because I was sure that we could have done well, it was just a case of losing the front and being unable to avoid the crash. I was able to get four points. My team and Aprilia are doing a great job, and I feel strong on the bike. I just have to hope that we are a bit luckier in the future.”
