#5 Johann Zarco – 8th (1’30.654) – Practice
“I’m pretty happy. Misano is a tough track, so I’m really pleased to have had the speed from the very first session this morning. We have a good pace, which is a positive, and it allows me to give clear feedback to the crew so we can work in the right direction. I think there’s still room to improve the lap time, so tomorrow we need to keep pushing. If I can find a little more, I think we can fight for the first rows of the grid. Let’s see!”
#11 Diogo Moreira – 17th (1’31.263) – Practice
“It’s been a difficult Friday because we didn’t have the best start to the day, although we improved in the afternoon. I’m struggling in Sector 3, that’s where I lose everything. Hopefully tomorrow we can find something that helps us put together a few good laps and try to make it into Q2. We’ll see, we’re ready to try and do a good job.”
#5 Johann Zarco – 10th – Sprint
“After a good Friday, we wanted to do better today. I tried to manage everything as well as possible, but we were missing some speed. I could have done better in qualifying this morning, but I made a mistake and then got a penalty, which I totally accept. During the race, with the medium rear tyre, we got some good information for tomorrow. I did some good laps, but they were not enough to get into the points. We’ll try again tomorrow.”
#11 Diogo Moreira – 11th – Sprint
“I gave it everything today; I had nothing more to give or improve. I wanted to score some points, but there are two corners where I lose everything, and that compromised my laps. I tried to recover positions and did everything I could, trying different things. We’ll try to take a step forward tomorrow and see what happens!”
#5 Johann Zarco – DNF – Race
“It’s been a tough weekend considering everything that has happened. I’m pretty fine; it was a soft crash. I went wide and slid, and I couldn’t avoid the crash. I wanted to fight for the top 10, and my mistake was not being able to overtake the rider in front of me. From there, the situation got tricky, as I’m missing some points on track that would allow me to attack. We’ll try to improve and do better next week!”
#11 Diogo Moreira – DNF – Race
“This morning we found something after a tough weekend, and during the first lap I felt really good and strong. It could have been a nice race. The important thing is that I haven’t suffered any consequences. In any case, we take the positives from the weekend and move forward to the next one.”
