MARCO BEZZECCHI, #72: “I’m happy to be going back to Assen. It is a track that I like a lot. We are coming from a complicated weekend, but we’ll continue looking forward. The goal will be to keep working in the direction we’ve been going, to confirm the progress we’ve shown in recent races, and to take another step forward.”
JORGE MARTÍN: “The Brno weekend was positive, and I think that Assen could be a track more suited to our characteristics. The important thing is to continue working as a team to figure out together what we’re missing to be more competitive, but I’m convinced that Aprilia and the team will find the right path.”
