"This second place is a real reward for Navarro and for the team"

 

"The whole Estrella Galicia 0,0 team are very pleased with the results obtained at this Grand Prix. Jorge Navarro has had a great weekend, both in practice and preparing for the race as he demonstrated on track today. He had very good pace and fought all the way through to be on the podium."

"Throughout the weekend he has learned a lot and in the end, he was able to get his first World Championship podium. This is always an important moment for a rider and even more if it is at home. This second place is a real reward for Navarro and for the team who have been working hard all season to support these young talented riders."
 

 

 

"Meanwhile, Sena Yamada has also done a good job. He beat the lap time he had registered at this circuit in the FIM CEV by a significant margin and if it was a race of that series, he would have been fighting to win. When you come to the World Championship your level increases and this was the aim we had with Yamada. We knew that he is a rider who does not have World Championship experience, so the important thing was not the result, but to accumulate these valuable kilometers that will come in handy, as he looks to push in the final stages of the FIM CEV."

"I've finally got my first podium in the World Championship, so I'm thrilled!"

"Getting my first World Championship podium here at Motorland feels great. We knew we had a good pace but still, it was a difficult race. This weekend things were harder than I expected. This morning I crashed in the warm up, but luckily there have been no bad consequences. The Estrella Galicia 0,0 team did a great job preparing the bike again in perfect condition, and keeping me calm for the race."

"I knew that to finish on the podium or to fight for victory, I had to start the last lap in the top three, but then I was unable to place myself in a good position. When Danny Kent was behind, coming out of Turn 10, I saw he was not going fast and, on reaching the braking point I made my move and overtook him. It was a pity Miguel Oliveira was a bit far ahead because otherwise I could have taken a little slipstream and maybe would have had a chance to win the race. When I crossed the line, the first thing that came to mind were those not so good moments, but in the end, with hard work and team work, everything comes together. I've finally got my first podium in the World Championship, so I'm thrilled! Now, we will continue working in Japan. "

"I learned a lot throughout the weekend and I was able to improve my riding"

"I think I did a good race. The start was difficult because in the World Championship everyone fights a lot to get a good place right from the start, so I couldn’t keep my position and I fell a little behind. However, I didn’t give up and I started to push. Gradually I overtook some other riders and riding in the group, I was able to go pretty fast. I would have liked to fight with the leading group but I think the result is not too bad. Overall, I learned a lot throughout the weekend and I was able to improve my riding. The next weekend, we have the FIM CEV race in Navarra, so I hope to show all the experience I've picked and try to fight for the podium."
