  1. CRAZY WEEKEND AT SILVERSTONE: TOP 5 FOR ALEX, A NINTH PLACE FOR FERMIN

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “Having won in Jerez, this ‘non victory’ hurts less, but it’s clear that we missed a great opportunity. We had a great start but maybe I overdid it and crashed. The red flag helped me, although maybe it helped Marc more. We’re leaving Silverstone with two points less, but with confidence after a good – yet defensive – race.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “Unfortunately I made a mistake today as well. It’s a shame because we had a good rhythm and we could have stayed with the front group. The wind was hard to manage, even though the minimum goal of a top ten was achieved. I’m not happy, but there are Sundays in which points and experience are needed.”

     

  2. FERMIN WET FURY LEADS TO THIRD PLACE FINISH. ALEX WITH NO POINTS IS 2025 NEWS

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “I didn’t think I would have been so fast in the wet, the amount of experience was very little and I must say this morning I stayed put in the warm up as I didn’t want to take any risk. In the race, I followed the more experienced riders, even though I made it back to the pits one lap too late but in hindsight, it went well. I knew fourth would have been a good result, but I saw the podium within reach and I kept believing. This weekend has been a 10 out of 10.”

    “On one hand, we were quick in every condition, on a track where we haven’t performed too well before. The negative side is that we crashed twice, and the second one could have been avoided. It would have been important to score points anyway, even a few, but we couldn’t get the job done. Too bad, because it could have been an excellent weekend.”

     

  3. ANOTHER PODIUM FOR NEW CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER ALEX

    A SUPER FERMIN CRASHES OUT OF TOP PERFORMANCE

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “Let’s enjoy the moment. This track is not among my favourites and I wasn’t feeling at my best today on the bike. Despite all of this and the chaos at the start of the GP, we did well in staying focused. When I saw Marc crashing out I realised I had to be twice careful and bring home the result. We’re leading the championship, for what’s worth, but it’s a great moment for me and my team. Let’s enjoy it.”
     
    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “I was feeling great today and we arrived to a moment in which it was necessary to decide on whether to accept fifth place or take a shot at fourth position. We know how it went as I unfortunately crashed out. We had the pace, I felt comfortable and quick without pushing too hard, and that’s why I tried: it didn’t go as planned but we keep all the positives from this weekend and we head to Qatar with great motivation.”

  4. ALEX IS THE NUMBER ONE, MAIDEN MOTOGP WIND AND CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “If they had ask me where I would have wanted my first MotoGP race win to take place, the answer would have been “Jerez”. We managed to do it and we were aware that it was possible already from Friday. I trusted the team and when I saw Marc crashing I thought it was my best chance of the season. It was fantastic, now we try to skip tomorrow’s test.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “I must admit I’m angry and frustrated with this mistake. We could have done well, if not really well, we had the pace to be with the frontrunners. Unfortunately I paid a big price for a small mistake, but we keep learning and growing. I’d like to give my biggest congratulations to Alex, he deserves this win.”

  5. IT’S ALL SMILES AT GRESINI’S: ALEX AGAIN ON THE PODIUM, TOP 5 FOR FERMIN

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “Second again, but today it has a sweeter taste than usual. I started without too many expectations and without being fully prepared to this afternoon’s heat. Yesterday I basically didn’t lap at all, and I was a bit nervous heading into the race. Everyone else had improved compared to yesterday, while I was in a bit of a standstill because of my mistake in Practice. We’ll try to make up some ground ahead of tomorrow, in a race that is shaping up to be a complex one.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “It was an excellent sprint race; I felt comfortable on the bike already from yesterday despite Jerez being a very different track to the first four of the season and despite that, we were quick and had a good pace. We still lack plenty of experience, but to continue fighting for the top 5 would be the dream. The real goal for tomorrow is the top ten, but we like to think big.”
