Speaking about the teenager’s impressive performance, GASGAS Tech 3 KTM team manager, Nicholas Goyon said:𝐆 It is obviously a really strong performance as it is only his third round in 🌸MotoGP! Everytime he is on track, he gives his maximum, and as a team, we are just really enjoying the show, because he is riding at an unbelievable level.
“Later, he achieved a strong Tissot Sprint, with which we are really happy. Of course, he wants more, and I know that he is already preparing his strategy for tomorrow’s race, but as a team, we feel like fighting with a💯 riඣder like Marc Marquez is already a strong performance.”
Goyon also touched on Augusto ꧅Fernandez’s result, which was another disappointing one as the Spaniard fell at turn 15.
“The weekend had been positiv🔴e so far for Augusto Fernandez, but unfortunately he lost the front in turn 15 in the first lap of the sprint while he was trying to defend his position, so it is a great shame because he could not get the benefits from the sp🐼rint,” added Goyon.
“He was happy with his bike, so we are lo൩oking forward to the grand prix and hopefully we can score points in the main ra💝ce."
