Lorenzo Dalla Porta : " I am extremely happy. I wanted this victory and it means a lot to me, even more than that because I don't like this track very much and the race was tough at times. Honestly, I didn't expect to win. It's the best possible result after the podiums we've achieved so far, and the best way to go on vacation. We also take the lead in the championship and that's a very good thing. Thank you so much to the team, they do incredible work and they are like family to me! ».

Marcos Ramirez : " I tried to win because I felt strong from the start of the race and I knew I had good pace. I tried everything to win but since yesterday I've been feeling pain in my knee and it hasn't been easy because this track is very physical. However, a second position is super positive, I feel better than at the start of the season and I'm happy with this result. Now I am fourth in the standings. Last week I finished first, this week second. A big thank you to the team ».
Looking somewhat annoyed, but @aroncanet44 has to be pleased with his race! 💪

Arón Canet: « Very good race for me. In the last five laps, I told myself that I had to make an effort because the front tire was quite good. So I attacked very hard, but I made a mistake on the last lap. Too bad I didn't close the door then. Despite this, I came up with around twenty drivers, and a third position is very good, especially for the championship. We still need to improve and we will work hard. I dedicate this victory to my mother ».
