Luca Marini Statements GP Assen MotoGP Qualifying 2022

“A far from easy day where not everything went right. In Q1 I tried, but I wasn't able to improve in my last attempt and Q2 was a close call. Tomorrow we will start from the middle of the group, it won't be easy to recover, but we'll try. Let's go back to the data with the team and Ducati, the options for the rear tire are still open, let's try to do a good job in the warm up and tackle the race as best as possible to make up ground and confirm our positive trend of recent weeks."
