Mark, it was fantastic. You had an incredible start and first lap then an impressive comeback. Are you happy with this second place?

Marc Márquez : " Yes. It was an incredible race and an incredible first lap. What I did in the first lap, as did Dovi, was fantastic, but we destroyed the tire in the first three laps. Then I lost time behind Miller, but ok, my goal was already achieved. Viñales was faster than us today and I saw that my only chance was to do what I did at Phillip Island: stay right behind him! But when he had a gap of a second and a half, I tried to stay there, stay there, stay there, I made a mistake and went to two and a half seconds. So yes, I'm happy for my race but you can't imagine how happy I am today because of my brother's victory. He deserves it because he worked very, very hard. It's not easy to be the " brother of " but he is Álex Márquez and not the " brother of ". He's already won two world championships and it's a fantastic day. But on the other hand, we cannot forget Munander. He was a young pilot I had met once. He was a good guy but unfortunately for the motorcycle world, that happens sometimes. A big hug to all family, friends and all motorcycling fans. »
