Franco Morbidelli: "Situation reversed"

In the Malaysian MotoGp Grand Prix, it was a real Spanish party, with Alex Marquez crossing the finish line ahead of his compatriots and Pedro Acosta and Joan Mir, who after so many disappointments experienced a positive day.

Starting from the front row, Morbidelli had a complicated start to the race, but he recovered by immediately putting himself in the fight for the Top5. Franco was very close to the podium in the final part of the race, finishing fourth by only five tenths. With today’s result, the number 21 returns to sixth in the overall standings with 227 points.

“It was a positive weekend, where we reversed the negative feelings of Australia and went strong already from Friday – said the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team rider -. We took the front row and two fourth places fighting with several riders. I am very happy with the steps forward and the level we have, by the end of this championship, we aim to improve even more, although the last two weekends will be quite challenging”.

“After the accident that happened in Moto3, my main thought was to know how the two riders” added the Valentino Rossi Academy product.
