We knew that today’s Race would be a very tough battle. Fabio had a better start than yesterday and that did help, but he then lost some time behind Marco Bezzecchi. Once he overtook him, Fabio could show his pace, which was really good. The way he closed those big gaps was impressive. He was strong till the end, and had the Race been a few laps longer, I reckon he also would have been able to overtake the riders directly ahead of him. Franky likewise had a good start, but the performance he had in Malaysia never materialised here for him. We will analyse the data to discover what prohibited him from being faster. We will try again next week in the final GP of the season. We look forward to closing the 2023 show in the best way possible.
