A few post-race words from VR46
Unfortunately in the last two races something happened. No one expected Marquez to protect Jorge to help him win the championship. The problem started at Phillip Island and has become worse and worse. When I knew I had to start this race last I knew already that the championship was finished because I’m sure Marquez wanted to finish his work and protect Lorenzo. I said on Thursday this would happen and it happened exactly as I expected. I think today’s last lap was embarrassing for MotoGP because this never happened before. I’m not desperate [about losing] because I played the championship in the best way, but I’m sad for this finish. I was ready to lose to Jorge who is always very fast on track, but this way it’s not fair. Now this story is very hot. Sincerely for next season, other things will be important, especially my motivation to continue and try another time. I’m not very worried about next year – this story doesn’t change my plan. I will try again next year, then I will decide my future. First of all, it was a strange weekend because I knew already my chance were very, very small. Today I wasn’t particularly fast but if I could start from the second row I could try to fight with Jorge. About the future with Marquez, I don’t know. What can I say? What can I do? I have to stop because I’m scared!?
