“I am satisfied, I arrived here with some doubts but today I felt good. Especially if we talk about consistency, with the medium tire the pace and the sensations were good for the first day “. She said it Aleix Espargarò at the end of free practice on Friday on the saddle of Ducati in the San Marino MotoGP Grand Prix. “I struggled a little more with the soft, I expected to be able to improve my time more – added the Aprilia rider – We will have to work on this because we know how important the qualifying at Misano is. In case of rain the grip on the track is good after the resurfacing a few years ago, but I always hope to be able to finish the weekend in the dry ”.

Satisfied too Maverick Vinales: “We went strong. I enjoyed governing and am very happy with how we have worked. The pace is already good and we are in the right direction – he added – Obviously there are still some details to work on, but the potential is there and above all we know we can improve, on the single lap. However, it is important to have already entered Q2 provisionally, to rest assured if it does not rain tomorrow morning, and if it is, the times will drop again and ahead of us. For the race it will be essential to start from the front row and we will try ”.
