Quotes
“I put these two races [Austria and Sachsenring] on the same level. Just that today Jorge crashed so I could achieve a better position, but it was a very similar race to the Sachsenring," Ducati's Luca Marini said after finishing fourth at the 2023 Austrian MotoGP.
“My pace was really strong. I could fight for the podium, but unfortunately, I was starting from behind and this in MotoGP now is a disaster! Because if you want to recover the gap then you destroy the tyres, especially the rear tyre, and in the end, you struggle too much.
“I tried to recover the gap in braking, but everybody is braking so late, so it's not easy. But I had the same pace as all the other top riders and this makes me really happy.”
