Maverick Vinales: "This is the way of progress"

Marc M😼a🐎rquez says the Sprint "was not easy, especially with this warm temperature that changed  a lot the feeling.

🐻"I struggled a bit at the end but I was controlling."

Says he "hates the Sprint race" beꦬcause he has to control his emotions ahead of ꩲSunday, even if he's "super-happy" after winning.

Alex Marquez says the "key of the race" was passing Bagnaia at the start. Is hoping to make a 𝔉step tomorrow, and feels he's "in delay" with his work on the bike after his two crashes yesterday in practice.

Bagnaia says he "needs to improve, b♕oth [Marquez] brothers are doing a better job in the Sprints." 

Five times out of five he's been beaten by both Marqu൲ezes inꦯ the Sprint this year.
