Alex Marquez <\/span><\/span><\/strong>has scored a<\/span><\/span>n excellent sprint race win at Sepang, which confirms all the good things shown during the opening day at the Malaysian circuit. Following a fully positive qualifying two (he lined up in fourth place on the grid), the Spanish rider #73 did an outstanding job also in the cloudy and extremely hot afternoon conditions. <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span><\/span>great start, <\/span><\/span>an <\/span><\/span>e<\/span><\/span>xcellent strategy and a spectacular race pace were the three ingredients that enabled Marquez not only to match Martin and <\/span><\/span>Bagnaia\u2019s<\/span><\/span> pace, but also have the better of them and pull away in the second half of the encounter. He crossed the line with more than a second margin over his closest opponents, with the #73 now looking forward to repeating the same type of performance on a track that is clearly among his favorites. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fabio Di Giannantonio<\/b> had a much quieter race. His qualifying performance was hampered by a crash at turn 15, while in the race he was not clearly the \u2018type of Diggia\u2019 seen in previous events. He will try to make amends tomorrow on the longer distance.<\/p>\n

1<\/span><\/span>st<\/span><\/span> – ALEX MARQUEZ #73<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>I <\/span><\/span>made a mistake during an overtaking manoeuvre on <\/span><\/span>Pecco<\/span><\/span>, but aside from that it was a perfect race. We used the best strategy: we waited a little bit, also to keep the right pressure on the front tyre. Then, when I saw that <\/span><\/span>Pecco<\/span><\/span>was slightly slower than me, I attacked and thought only about winning. I didn\u2019t look at the board until the last lap, and then when I saw +1.2secs of margin I stayed focused to finish the race the best way possible.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

13<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span> – FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO #49<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>It hasn\u2019t been an e<\/span><\/span>asy weekend so far. I didn\u2019t have a great feeling and I ended up crashing while trying to push at the limit in Q2. It\u2019s also true that we did a great lap in Q1, but we need to work <\/span><\/span>in order to<\/span><\/span> sort a few things out and be back on the right level of performance tomorrow.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
