  1. MARQUEZ MISSES OUT ON THE PODIUM AFTER A SPECTACULAR RIDE AT SILVERSTONE

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ
    “Honestly, we had the pace to fight for second place with Jorge today. Unfortunately, the mistake at Turn 1, which was entirely my fault, compromised the race and probably cost us the podium. In any case, we leave a very solid weekend behind us. We were the best Ducati, and my physical condition continues to improve. Now we’ll keep preparing, as Aragon will be a completely different story.”

    IKER LECUONA
    “It’s a real shame to leave this weekend without any points. Yesterday went the way it went, and today we weren’t lucky. I went a little bit wide on the entry to Turn 13 and, as soon as I hit the dirty part of the track, I lost the front. It was a harmless crash, but it’s still disappointing after such a positive Friday and Saturday. What remains is the great experience with this team, which I really enjoyed working with once again. I’m really sorry.”

  2. MARQUEZ STRAIGHT INTO Q2, IKER QUICK AT SILVERSTONE

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ
    “With a strong lap, I finished the day in seventh. We have to admit that the Aprilias have raised the bar here, but we’re not far behind. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that I was hoping to be in better physical shape, but I struggled a little towards the end of practice. We definitely need to make a step forward in the first sector. This morning we were clearly the fastest in the fourth sector, but this afternoon the others closed the gap.”

    IKER LECUONA
    “It went better than I expected. We made just a few small changes to Fermin’s bike, and I felt comfortable straight away. It’s true that I hadn’t ridden here for a long time, so I needed some time to get back into the rhythm of the track. On a circuit like this, a mistake in one corner can easily carry over into the next two, three or even four corners… The biggest challenge here is putting together a clean lap without any major mistakes, and today I made a few too many. We definitely have room to improve. We’re not far from Q2, but tomorrow we’ll need to put together a near-perfect lap and probably make the most of a good tow.”

  3. FERMÍN TO MISS SILVERSTONE, IKER STEPS IN

    Posted on

    Fermín Aldeguer will not compete at Silverstone for the 12th round of the MotoGP World Championship.

    The Spanish rider will remain on the sidelines as a precaution. However, he has received medical clearance to resume training from August 15, with Team Gresini set to welcome him back at Aragón in around a month's time.

    A welcome return to the Gresini family for Iker Lecuona, who, after standing in for Alex Márquez in Hungary, will take on the challenge of riding Fermín's Ducati this weekend at Silverstone.

     

  4. IN GERMANY, ALEX CHARGES INTO Q2

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73

    "We got off to a good start and felt comfortable right from the beginning. It's true that I still struggle a little physically through a couple of the fast direction changes, but it's mainly a matter of lacking strength. Compared to Assen, this is definitely a more rider-friendly circuit. Overall, it's been a very encouraging Friday and it gives us confidence heading into what could be a positive weekend. We need a strong result and to keep rebuilding our rhythm. We're not yet at 100% here, but after the summer break we will be. The goal is to get back to the feeling we had in Jerez and Barcelona, regardless of the results that come."

    “Alex, it’s truly hard to let you go. We’ve shared emotions, growth, and moments that I will carry in my heart forever. I’m proud of the man and the rider you are. But before we say goodbye, there’s still one more chapter to write together. Let’s do it with the determination that has always set us apart”.
