“There has been some progress, there has been improvement. Of course you want to do a few more laps and have a better time. But now we are ready for the first race.”

“I can completely concentrate on my riding style. Now we have to put together the best package we have for the first race of the season in two weeks. I want to be optimistic, but after today we can’t be too optimistic because we didn’t finish better than 14th. So we are still far behind.” Marc Marquez.
