“It’s an incredible emotion – said Enea – I pushed from the start, but the most important thing is that I tried to save the tires. When I passed Pol Espargaro, I passed him, he recovered but I understood that I had to try to win. He went wide and I did it. It’s difficult to talk, I dedicate it to Fausto because he pushed so much from the sky and it’s fantastic for the whole team. We all cried and I’m happy for my family at home , I thank you all”.

“It’s a unique victory – added Bastianini – we did a good job, the team seemed like an official, zero pressure and everyone focused on the goal. I had a good pace in the morning and today I believed in it, I tried to manage the race. first part, Pol (Espargaro; ed) was going strong, but I hooked him up and then I didn’t understand anything. Difficult to explain what goes through my head in these moments, I wanted to share it with Fausto because it was our dream that started in 2014, we told each other that we would arrive in MotoGP, but he is not there, he looked at us and now is not the time to be sad but to honor him. I thank my family, mum, dad, my girlfriend and friends. thanks to them that I’m here “.

Second place for Pol Espargaro with the factory Honda: “I need to know more about the bike, it’s the first race, I didn’t expect some things and they surprised me. The strategy was to stay behind, but I pushed and the times were easy. mind, maybe I exaggerated and in the end both tires and fuel were missing. But it’s only the first race, it’s a good feeling to see that Honda have two strong riders ahead. ”
