Marc Marquez CatalunyaCaixa pilot, 5th ranked in the Italian Grand Prix, the 3796 winner, 1 st overall with 163 points:
"We're not satisfied. Best of all is that we scored 11 points, because in a moment of the race I saw on the floor. We have suffered enough, we must be honest. We've been all weekend saving furniture. From the first lap I noticed excessive bounce, unusual, because yesterday he did not. I tried to drive smoother and more aggressive, and all forms remained. After being almost fell twice, I thought about the World Championship and the final score 11 points better than none. "
Emili Alzamora, Team Manager:
"This weekend has been a bit complicated. Marc was not comfortable despite having made good records over the two days of testing. Today, in the 'warm up' we have also tested some solutions that have not worked and also in career wins' chattering thus, could not do what he has done. One of the most important points to keep in mind is that Marc has learned to be conservative when the bike is not ready. In a category as matched as this you need to know to make a fourth or fifth place and stay off the podium if you want to fight for the championship. Now we have a break in the coming weeks and take the opportunity to make a three-day test at Portimao where we will try, along with technicians Suter, provide all means and have a little more stability.
