“The manufacturers’ title is a very important result, obviously on top of the win number 100 for Ducati in MotoGP. We are very proud with these milestones. The race was, as if often happens, a very intense and spectacular one. I’m very happy with Enea’s win as he did a great job with the team in order to find that something extra that put him in the position to battle for the win, especially with such a fierce opponent as Jorge, who’s always incredibly quick. A pity for Pecco, who was having a great race and really wanted to do well, but this is racing. We’ll try to understand what happened and how to improve ahead of the long, flyaway trip.”

Enea Bastianini

“This victory is a great achievement, because we built up to a crescendo this weekend. Yesterday we were missing something to battle for the win, but we worked until late in order to put all the pieces together and to find a solution ahead of today’s race, and it worked. Jorge (Martín) was extremely fast throughout the race and there was a moment in which I wasn’t sure if I could have stayed with him, as I started experiencing a bit of vibration at the rear-end. As the laps went by, however, I tried to understand how to minimise the issue. In the final laps, something extra obviously comes out that enables you to battle for the win. In the end, I made my move: when I dove in, Jorge tried to close the door and that forced me to lean a bit, which led to the front-end locking. I tried to rely on the rear as much as I could, while making sure I could make the turn, and it worked.”

Francesco Bagnaia

“Today simply went the way it did. I was already having some issues with the front locking since the start of the race so even when the rear tyre started to perform with 15 laps in and set the fastest lap of the race two times in a row, I still tried to be as careful as possible, especially under braking. Then, I lost the front as hit the brakes, despite being still in an upright position. It was a strange day no doubt, but we’ll be ready next time.”

“Let’s enjoy this podium, even though our pace was worthy of a fourth-place finish today. I could have taken more risks and then finish fourth with a three-second gap or manage my pace and finish fourth with 8 seconds… Pecco’s crash surely helped us, we are bagging 16 valuable points and look forward to Indonesia.”

Alex Marquez

“This was likely my worst race start of the year and despite that we scored a good result in what was a tough race. We suffered from the extra grip here and now it’s time for Indonesia, a race that I missed out last year due to injury and where conditions will be very different.”

Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP

"It's a real shame that the Race ended the way it did. Fabio was doing a great job defending fifth place, but then, in the final corners, he ran out of fuel and crossed the finish line in seventh. It‘s a small setback after a great race weekend. But focusing on the silver lining, we are seeing gradual improvements. So, we take the positives from this weekend, and we will try to fight for good positions again next week in Mandalika."

Fabio Quartararo

"Already in the second-to-last corner I had no more fuel left. I tried to do whatever I could, but I'm still super happy about how the Race went. This is by far one of the best GPs we've had this year. Now we will see what kind of results we can get at the overseas races. If we do a similar kind of weekend in Indonesia, I think it's a big step forward for us. Lately, when I'm riding, I'm feeling much better. I think that we can be happy with the work we've done in the last few weeks."

Aprilia Racing Team

“On such a sad weekend for motorcycle racing, after the death of Luca Salvadori, we wish to remember him affectionately and send his family a warm embrace. It was also wonderful to see such a big crowd this weekend, especially considering the difficulties the Romagna region is facing with flooding recently. As for the race, we are happy that Aleix rediscovered his pace, but Maverick especially was very fast, maintaining a pace close to the podium finishers throughout the race. It’s a pity about the positions lost in the opening stages, but overall, we saw Aprilia’s speed again, although still not at the same levels as the season start. We will head to the upcoming races in Asia confident that we have found the right path.”

Maverick Vinales

“The race was extremely positive and I felt really good, especially in the second part, when I began to make up positions. I also had an outstanding race pace. It was important to rediscover our speed and we managed to do that. We are leaving Misano satisfied. Sixth place is positive after the recent complicated races.”

Aleix Espargaro

“I had quite a bit of chattering for the last six laps. Since I had a good gap ahead of the riders behind me, I decided to clinch eighth place. I’m satisfied with the result, especially after the difficulties we have had in Misano. The difference from the first riders was not that huge. We were more competitive than I had expected. Especially in the first two-thirds of the race, we were rather fast.”

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing

“Brad was there at the beginning and things were under control until the crash. It means we were close to the limit so we have some work ahead. Jack also made a strong start but also had some contact with other riders and lost time running off-line. His feeling wasn’t too bad but we still need to look well at his race and set-up. We’ll hope for better in the overseas.”

Brad Binder

“I felt pretty good in warm-up and we made a little step from yesterday. I knew if I wanted to do anything here then I had to go with the boys early on. That’s what I tried to do and hang with their speed but unfortunately I washed the front at Turn 4. Sorry to my team for the mistake because we could have had a decent result. My goal is to fight in the top three and that’s what I wanted to do. We’ll try again next week.”

 Jack Miller

“I got away to a decent start but by the third lap I reached my maximum pace and that was all I had. Then we had a vibration issue. I tried to have a push a couple of times but I almost fell off more than once. We have some work to do. It was a hard day and a bit disappointing. We tried some things to fix it this weekend but we need to go back and have another look to find the maximum of the tire and try to improve.”
