That was some race. Stewards got most of the calls very right, though the long lap for Binder was wrong. He lost a lot of time. Debatable, though.

Great ride by Bezzecchi and Martin. Astounding by Fernandez, deserved that. He's been solid, and said for the first time he had some feeling.

Hats off to Marc Marquez though. Coming back from injury and riding like that is incredible. He is going to be a factor.

"We tried an exhaust which was not working, chassis is not working, aero is not working, electronics is not working... From the test, the new things that we tried were useless."
