Andrea Iannone ( Pramac Racing): "I'm very sorry for how the race went today, I did not want to go like this. I wanted to fight with the second group of riders but in the last corner of the fifth lap I lost the front tire and I crashed. Considering my pace that was similar to Dovizioso, I'm sure I would have had the chance to fight for a position in the top eight ranking. Now we have to wait for the GP at Le Mans that should be a more favorable track for our bike. "

Yonny Hernandez ( EnergyT.I . Pramac Racing): "I gained two points more for championship, but I’m not very happy with the result because I believe I can do better. Unfortunately I was not able to maintain a lower race pace since I has a problem in many understeer. I've never had this problem with this tire over the weekend, in the middle of the race I tried to push a bit more, but I almost crashed. I saw that who was behind me was not close and I settled in the fourteenth position."
