«We are very happy with the victory for Alex Rins, because we all wanted him to get back to winning Grands Prix»

Emilio Alzamora – Team Principal
«I think that Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 did an excellent job throughout the entire weekend. In the race we had an advantage over our rivals because of the setup and pace that we had, and our riders were able to make the most of this to cut the gap to Jack Miller in the overall standings. That was our main objective. We are very happy with the victory for Alex Rins, because we all wanted him to get back to winning Grands Prix. This time the race strategy worked out for both riders. We still have six races remaining and we are seeing some tough, tight contests. However, we will keep working this way in order to get better results for the remainder of the season -starting with the next race at Misano».

Alex Rins – 1st, 38’11.330
«I am very happy to have taken this win. Today everything worked out well for us -the last three corners were perfect- although it was very difficult to follow a strategy when part of a four-rider group fighting hard to win. I think that both my teammate, Alex Marquez, and I had planned to push hard from the start to make it a small group, but we had both Bastianini and Antonelli making things difficult at the beginning. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the race and it went by very quickly. This victory is undoubtedly down to teamwork and the support of Honda.»

Alex Marquez – 2nd to 0.011 sec.
«I’m happy with this result because I think we had a very good race, fighting for the win from the beginning. I tried reducing the lead group by setting a strong pace, but it was really hard to break away with all the slipstreaming. By mid-race we had broken away and were in a group of four, and that gave us a little more tranquility for the end of the race. I tried for the win until the last corner and maybe I lacked a bit of aggression, but I think we rode a very good race. The most important thing is to keep on cutting points to the leader; we are just 13 points behind now.»
