I decided to use the hardest tire compound in the front while the other Ducatis had medium hardness. Throughout the weekend I had a lot of problems on braking. The rear of the bike danced a lot, and the front often locked up. I had to ride completely on the limit if I wanted to stay in the front and when you ride at full speed you can have a fall. Marco was just too strong today, but I was able to fought for second place with Jorge." "The rhythm was the image

MotoGP News

Aleix Espargaro knew that Brad Binder had run over the green area that marks the boundaries of the circuit, so he didn't even try to overtake the South African in the last part of the last lap.

This year, however, such a maneuver for third place was not necessary, as the commissioners fined Brad Binder after the end of the race. In the eighth turn of the last lap, he ran over the green area and from third
