#CATALANGP: TOP TEN FOR ALEX AND DIGGIA
It was surely a more positive day today at Montmeló for Team Gresini MotoGP as in Alex Marquez’s home race see the Spaniard finishing sixth, with an excellent ninth position for Fabio Di Giannantonio.
These were two important results and surely not a given as Bastianini’s crash on the opening lap forced both Gresini standard bearers – among others – off the track.
No consequences for Alex and Diggia who as soon as they made it back to the track (quick start procedure) managed to bag some important points for the season, also in light of the event at Misano starting in a few days’ time.
6th – ALEX MARQUEZ #73 (10th in the championship standings with 102 points)
“We knew it would have been a long and challenging race and in the end it was. It was a survival race until the end. We struggled during the whole weekend and sixth is a positive result considering the crash we initial crash. The important thing is yhatWee keep growing and scoring points.”
9th – FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO #49 (16th in the championship standings with 43 points)
“Unfortunately we can’t have a better start than this and we’ll have to work on it. I think I did an excellent race as I was likely the rider who overtook the most and I did my battle with the second group. Maybe I had something more in the second part of the race compared to Quartararo,Miller and Alex, but Fernandez and I got in each other’s way. We’re improving in each race and maybe it has been so far my best MotoGP weekend, and that only serves as extra motivation ahead of Misano.”
