How do you see the weekend overall in Portimao?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I think that, overall, it has been quite a good weekend. Pol Espargar\u00f3 was consistent each day and finally in the race he managed to do well. He is clearly confirming that after a difficult start to the season, he is understanding the Honda and is able to ride with the front group. He is producing the lap times we expected from when we signed him.”<\/p>\n

Pol could have fought for the podium…<\/strong><\/p>\n

“At the beginning of the race Pol had an issue with Iker Lecuona and ran wide. This caused him to drop back and then it was difficult to recover all the ground he had lost. His pace was good enough to be in the top three or four, with Alex and Miller. But this is racing, and these kinds of incidents can happen, you must focus and continue. We are happy with Pol\u2019s progress in these last few races.”<\/p>\n

Without Marc Marquez, Stefan Bradl worked with the Repsol Honda Team this weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Unfortunately Marc has a problem which is bad for us, but especially bad for Marc himself. We were able to have Stefan\u2019s help this weekend, as is normal when we find ourselves in these kind of situations. Our test rider did his job very well \u2013 as is Stefan\u2019s standard. We are pleased with what he accomplished, especially jumping on the bike without any time to prepare. His role is important, and we appreciate all his effort.”<\/p>\n

We approach the final race of the season after a difficult year for HRC. What is the goal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We still have the final race in Valencia. Pol has a chance to improve on his position in the top 10 in the championship which would be very good for him, especially after some difficult points this year. It\u2019s not been an easy year for HRC, it\u2019s almost over, but the good thing about racing is there is always another race coming up, you can always improve. This year was not good for us, so we will go to Valencia and then fully focus on the challenge of the next championship.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
