“I'm really happy for “Bez”, we needed this victory, he had a fantastic race, he was very good. I think this win will give him a 'boost' for the rest of the season. It won't be easy, but in the Championship he isn't too far from the top. I am very happy with how our Moto2 Team worked because in addition to Bezzecchi's victory, there was also the performance of Celestino (Vietti, sixth at the finish line) who we remember is a rookie. His race was great, he even overtook Raul Fernandez and was very fast. I hope that between now and the end of the season both “Bez” and “Cele” continue to go strong.”

“Pedrosa was very good, he made a great comeback. At the start of the race he wasn't far away, he was there and I was hoping to catch him but when he got rid of those in front he was faster. He is not so obvious after 3 years, even if you are still a test driver going so fast."
