Jorge Martin

When I saw Binder overtake Marini, I pushed a little harder. I struggled with tyre wear midway through the race, and in the end, I was at the limit, but I’m very happy; it was necessary.

Johann Zarco

I gained two positions; I had a strong start, but battling with Alex consumed my tyres too much, and afterward, it all became too complicated. Let’s hope to do better tomorrow.
