Luca Marini sets goal for British MotoGP

Marini 🌞is wary of the cold conditions for t𝓰his weekend’s British MotoGP.
“This will be, I won’t say a pro🥃blem, but a condition which isn’t easy,” he ♛said.

“Justice!🔯 In those conditions💧 everybody can win. Try to be smart or lucky.
“I did everything well. My performance was 🐎okay in wet conditions.”
