Also Gino Borsoiteam manager of Ducati Pramacis on the same line, although feeling a little bitter: “The decision taken by the Race Direction It’s not good for us even if the wind was really critical. Moto2 was stopped due to the wind, which then increased, so it’s a wise decision, even if we would have liked to race.” Totally agree Davide Tardozzi from the Ducati: “The stop decided by Race Direction is right, la safety comes first: arriving at the first corner at 320 km/h with sudden gusts of wind is dangerous.”

This is the opinion of the World Cup leader, Pecco Bagnaia: “It’s always sad not to be able to race because there are always chances of losing or gaining points, but the weather already in the warm up he was critical – says the Ducati world champion -. The Moto3 managed to race, but they finished the race with 18 men and it was really at the limit and in Moto2 I know that Vietti fell due to the wind at the first corner. In Japan and Argentina this year we were strong in the wet and therefore we gave up on taking points which would have been useful, but the situation was critical.”

His rival for the title, Jorge Martinwho trails by 27 points in the World Championship, but it tastes a little bitter: “The right choice was made, because the track was dangerous for everyone – the words of the Spaniard from Pramac –, even if I felt good and I was thinking of running. In the end, however, we must respect the decision taken for security reasons.”
