ALONSO LOPEZ #21<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNot the result we were expecting: this is one of those races we can learn a lot from. We\u2019re working well and I\u2019m confident the victory is close. Today we thought we had everything under control, but we pushed the rear tire too hard, so at the end of the race I couldn\u2019t show our real potential. We\u2019re still missing something small, but we\u2019re motivated for the next races. On Tuesday we want to work on rear tire wear, which has been our main issue in this first part of the season: we want to fine-tune this aspect in order to finally make the decisive step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

SERGIO GARCIA #3<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA race to forget. We knew tire wear on this track would be high, so in the opening laps I tried to ride more conservatively to limit the wear, but it wasn\u2019t enough. I wasn\u2019t able to maintain a good pace until the end of the race, especially in the final stages where I was really on the limit \u2014 it was very difficult to ride like that. Now we\u2019re focusing on Tuesday\u2019s test, where the main goal will be tire wear management and fast corners, which are my weak point. We are very eager to improve and get back to riding with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
