"We had higher hopes for this Sprint. So far, Álex especially had a very positive weekend. He did a good job qualifying in P4, his best starting position of the season. However, in the Sprint, he was unlucky to be pushed wide by another rider on the opening lap from a positive fifth place. It ended his hopes of battling at the front, but he still showed good fighting spirit today. Fabio similarly found himself at the end of the pack. He was catching up fast though. It's a shame that he crashed on the final lap, but the main thing is that he is okay and that tomorrow we can have another go – hopefully with a bit more luck on our side. Completing 27 laps in this heat tomorrow will be a real test of endurance for the riders. The team will work hard to help the riders prepare for it and make them feel as comfortable as possible during this survival-of-the-fittest challenge."
