"Today it rained and the warm-up I felt pretty good, but in the race had much more water on the track and at the beginning I did not feel as comfortable as in the morning. I've played with De Angelis and I have spent several drivers, so I took it calmly and slowly I have been taking confidence. But you have to shoot in the wet. Went well, was comfortable and confident on the bike, and suddenly a small bug that the bike has very suddenly slip back and I could not do anything. The good news is that we are a point behind and we've got experience in wet races. Now it think in Montmelo, where I have really wanted to go. "

"Shame about the weather. Since in the Moto3 race we have seen how difficult it is to complete a race in these conditions. Marc has not found the same 'feeling with the bike I had in the morning, during the' warm up '. If I do a review of the weekend, I have to say that despite not having scored, we satisfied the circuit since Marc has proven to make a great pace throughout all training. Nevertheless, we went to a point of leadership and this is most important. We must be positive and see what happens in Montmelo. "
