ALEIX ESPARGARÓ
"The first race in Misano did not go as we had hoped. Clearly, the long race was affected by the rain, but we were still not as fast as we wanted to be during the weekend. During the test, we understood which direction we needed to go in, so I hope we can improve. It is a tricky circuit for us, but we are ready to do our best and fight for the positions that count.”

MAVERICK VIÑALES
"We are starting a new race weekend in Misano, and I think it’s a great opportunity for improvement. During the first race and the test, a number of things became clear to us, but now it is up to us to raise the bar. We must give our utmost in every lap, every race and every session. We are focused on taking a step forward; it’s important to us to finish this weekend on a good note before the races in Asia. My mentality is that we must improve, avoid mistakes and keep fighting.”
