“Unfortunately I started far back due to yesterday's crash and this was a big problem. I started quite well and recovered some positions, but unfortunately at turn 4 there were a lot of contacts and I found myself off the track and I rejoined last. I then got back on the track and pushed and managed to make some overtakings, Dovizioso, Oliveira, Morbidelli and Petrucci. It's a shame I couldn't get some points. In the end after the checkered flag it was exciting to see the fans and I enjoyed it.”

“It's nice to see all this affection and on the one hand it makes me emotional, today's last lap was truly fantastic. I can only thank all my fans. Throughout my long career, even in difficult moments they have supported me in a moving way. I'm sorry because I'd like to be more competitive, I'm giving it my all and I'm sorry I'm not further ahead. First of all, seeing the circuit with the fans is a completely different thing compared to last year, I can only thank them all.”
