Francesco Bagnaia

“Overall it was a positive weekend as we took back some points in the standings. I didn’t have the best of starts as the rear was spinning and the front-end lifted up; I wasn’t too quick on lap one and it cost me a couple of positions. I struggled a bit riding-wise behind Bezzecchi: it took me several laps to overtake the latter, while it was easier with Franco due to the fact that we have the same technical package, so I could predict his moves a bit better. It was a difficult weekend but I’m happy anyway, as we managed to finish on the podium.”

“Unfortunately I was too fast entering turn one. The goal for today was to take the win, but I struggled in the early part of the race; I lost the front on several occasions, and I wasn’t able to be as quick as I wanted. With ten laps in, the situation improved a lot: the bike was more stable, and this allowed me to open the throttle in a much more decisive way. I lost a little bit of time in trying to overtake Franco (Morbidelli), but once I got clear track ahead, the gap to the frontrunners kept getting smaller. Then I lost the front. With the pace I had, I think I could have caught Acosta, although I believe Martín was out of reach.”

“The engine broke during what was my fastest lap of the race. I was trying to improve my pace, but it ended up this way. These things happen and it’s nobody’s fault: the team did an outstanding job this weekend; we win and lose together. We’ll try again in Japan.”

Alex Marquez

“Somebody hit me, I think it was Jack (Miller)… these things happened, but it’s still a pity. We lost points in the championship standings and missed an opportunity to make amends following the recent crashes. Not much else to say… we’ll try to find some fresh confidence in a few days’ time at Motegi.”

Fabio Quartararo

„All weekend, we were not able to warm the medium rear tyre up fast. We lost many seconds because of that at the beginning of the Race. The pace was really good though. We went with the hard-medium front, and I was able to brake super late and overtake, but I'm not super happy about the result. I was fast and finished closer to the riders ahead, which is positive. We are working and improving step by step. We have been in Q2 two race weekends in a row, and we got P7 in the last two Races, so we are heading in the right way. But rather than focusing on positions, I think we need to focus on how fast we are going, and today we had good speed.“

Álex Rins

„I lost a lot of positions on the first lap. I went into corner 7 without using the throttle and completely lost the rear. We knew that it was going to be hard for us to warm up the rear tyre, to get temperature into it, but it was even harder than we expected. We started the Friday quite well, but we couldn't make the progress we wanted. Saturday was hard, and also today was quite tough. So, we need to check what happened, and we need to analyse the data. But I'm looking forward to the next race weekend, which is luckily already next week. So, let's jump on the bike again in Japan.“

Brad Binder

“A tricky one for us today. We made some changes this morning and tried something quite different but it was clear in the race that I didn’t quite have the margin to push. I was running wide a lot. I had to try to be clever with the front tire pressure and tucked behind a rider. It’s been a long weekend and I’m looking forward to see how we’ll manage in Japan next week.”

Jack Miller

“I got away to a good start and threaded the needle in Turn 1 like I could but then for the change of direction into Turn 3 I had a load of bikes right ahead of me, and had to grab the brakes. It was the first time on the lefthand side of the tire and it was a bit much on the first lap. It is just one of those things that can happen. I was in the middle of the group so a massive apology to the others that went down also. We have to look to Japan now. It’s been a good track for us in the past. We’ll see what we can do because yesterday here I felt our speed was decent.”

As the teams head into the next round of the championship, the lessons learned in Indonesia will undoubtedly influence their strategies and preparations. With the season still unfolding, each race presents an opportunity for growth and improvement. The insights gained from the Indonesian Grand Prix will not only shape individual team performances but will also contribute to the overall narrative of the 2024 MotoGP season, making it one to watch as it progresses.
