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

\u201cI\u2019m fairly happy. We gave it everything we had, but there wasn\u2019t much more we could do. On the first lap, I tried to gain as many positions as possible and then find my rhythm. We know what we\u2019re missing: for the next race, we\u2019ll work on those details and get ourselves ready to fight for the TOP 5 and enjoy ourselves!\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cUnfortunately, my race ended too early. I ran wide at Turn 11 and, when I rejoined the track, the bike was lifted by the kerb and the front closed on me. It\u2019s a shame because the feeling wasn\u2019t bad, so now our focus is on Indonesia. It will be tough, the temperatures will be high, but we\u2019re in good shape, prepared, and we want to have a strong race.\u201d<\/p>\n
