"Jorge Navarro has again fought at the front of the race and in the end took a podium finish"
|
"This weekend has been fantastic. Jorge Navarro has again fought at the front of the race and in the end took a podium finish. We are very happy with his performance here at Sepang, because this is a very difficult circuit in which in practice it is difficult to do a good job alone. However, Jorge has worked well and has set good times, preparing for the race very well, then was able to manage things on race day. I think Jorge has learned a lot here, but in the race it is hard to get your strategy working perfectly -particularly on the last sector of the track, where there is a long straight. In the end he was unable to win, but he was very close. This podium is very important for him, as it is for the entire Estrella Galicia 0,0 team because it get us very motivated for the final race ‘at home.’ ”

"I managed things well in every moment of the race"
"Today's race was chaotic and very difficult from beginning to the end, because there were many riders in the first group and it was hard to stay at the front. With the smallest mistake, you lost three or four places at once. I managed things well in every moment of the race. It was a shame that I was passed by Brad [Binder] and Miguel [Oliveira] at the last moment because I reached the end with the tyres in good enough condition to push hard; however, I am very happy with the race I had. I think the whole Estrella Galicia 0,0 team have worked well throughout the weekend, in which we have always taken steps forward and, like every Sunday, come out ready to fight for the victory. I am pleased with the progress we are experiencing and the flyaway rounds we have done. Now, we have to think about Valencia, my ‘home’ circuit, where I hope to have a great race in front of my fans."
