ALEX MARQUEZ 5th \u2013 1\u201928.961 (+0.293s)<\/strong>
\u201cAside from the crash, which happened during the race simulation, it was a positive test. Yesterday we had the fastest time, today we were very close to the top. We\u2019re not at 10\/10 yet, but compared to yesterday we\u2019ve already made a big step forward in confidence with the bike. Compared to last year, I feel more ready to fight for important results, but this year there will be many riders at top level and it will be a great challenge. I don\u2019t feel pressure, I feel confidence and I can\u2019t wait to start.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cObviously, I\u2019m sorry to be here as a replacement for an injured rider. That said, we worked hard over these two days; the track is new to me and I didn\u2019t have the chance to push in a time attack. In any case, I\u2019m very happy to be back with Team Gresini after so many years. We\u2019ll work throughout the weekend to help Ducati and Team Gresini.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
