    Once filming wraps, fans can head to the meet-and-greet area to say hello, grab a selfie, and enjoy a proper natter with Henry and his co-presenters.

  4. BK8 GRESINI RACING TEAM SCORES POINTS AT THE AMERICAS GP

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “Today I made a few overtakes, so I’m a bit more satisfied compared to yesterday. It was the result I expected today; we didn’t have the pace to be among the best, and starting from the third row I couldn’t ask for more. We still scored points and brought home the best result possible. Right now we need to keep working and continue improving to reach the level of the front runners. With the factory bike it always takes a bit more time to get everything perfectly set up.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “It was a complicated weekend and physically tough. In the sprint I already felt the lack of pace on a MotoGP bike, but we scored points and managed to race and finish all the races without crashing. Today was tough, a very long race, but we have to be satisfied. Last year, after three races, we didn’t have this many points.”

     

  5. TOP 4 IN THE AMERICAN SPRINT FOR ALEX MARQUEZ

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “Today it was important to bring home points and avoid mistakes. Let’s say we raced defensively, waiting to find the right feeling with the bike. The crash this morning took away a lot of my confidence, even though we’re still missing something. We found something positive this morning and who knows, maybe it’s the right direction to get back to the top positions in the standings.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “I’m satisfied with today. This morning I had good feelings both in the free practice and in Q1. In Q2, honestly, I didn’t have much to say with only one chance for the time attack. In the race, let’s say the fatigue started to be felt — many laps on this circuit are difficult to manage. Looking ahead to tomorrow, it will definitely be important to manage our energy. We start from the third row, so it’s certainly a good beginning.”
