Having barely got off their machines at the end of the Dutch Grand Prix, the three drivers on the podium delivered their first impressions to the microphone of the MotoGP official website.

We report their comments here without any formatting.


Raúl Fernández (Red Bull KTM Ajo), winner:

At the start I did two very bad laps, and therefore lost a lot of positions. But I managed to make a good comeback. It was a very difficult race, which was played on the mind, but I would like to thank my team because they gave me a very good bike, and in the second half of the race I was really strong.

Remy Gardner (Red Bull KTM Ajo), second:

I knew I could be in the race, but I also knew it would be tough and I would have to fight. Raúl had a very good pace, and when he started to pull away I had no way of catching him. In the last laps I drew on my resources to secure second place. This way I was able to minimize the damage today, which is a good thing in itself.

Augusto Fernández (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team), third:

It's great, it's been a really long time. We worked a lot and never gave up, and it was worth it for this podium. At one point I thought I could win, but this podium is already very good.
