Valentino, you worked hard to get this podium and you made things even more difficult for Maverick. How happy are you to be back?
Valentino Rossi : “I'm very, very happy because it's been a long time, after a very bad period and bad results. So this weekend we started working in a different way and I am very happy with my whole team. We did a good job and I was able to get some good laps and a good start. Afterwards, the race was very long! But I am very happy! Getting back on the podium today, for me it's not like a victory but it's similar. »
