Jorge Lorenzo - 15th Our problem was the delay in the decision to prepare the bike to go on dry conditions. This delay, the problems we had, gave Marquez the advantage because they planned before, probably on the grid to have the ‘dry’ bike ready. Just three corners before the pits I received a signal on the dashboard [to pit], so I expected that the bike was ready but it was not. The team, seeing that Marc was so fast already, decided to take the risk to put this signal already before we are losing more seconds. When I entered the pits I saw the team working on the bike, changing the suspension, putting the right settings. The bike felt a little strange, and they told me my setting was half-dry, half-wet, so that’s why I couldn’t go any faster. The bike gives me so much confidence that any quantities of rain and water I was really, really quick. We were unlucky that 15 minutes before the GP, the track dries up. Rain conditions were the perfect situation to finally win my first race with Ducati – today I felt I had this chance. But this year, I have made a lot of mistakes, and this time it was the guys who made a mistake. We have to accept it.
