The Spaniard is up for the mistake he made with the other slipped to fifth place immediately after the race he apologized to the Aprilia team. As he added, he had to look at the tower to put up a board of mechanics for his team to count the circles. At the same time, he forgot to the last round in Barcelona counts as round 0 (L-0) and not L-1.
"I can only apologize for the mistake, which is not acceptable at this level," he said Asparagus after a mistake that cost him second place and further increased the gap in the total by leading Quartararo.
"It was my fault. The sign from the garage was too close to the first turn, it was the first in a row. That's why I didn't have time to watch how many laps there were and the advantage over Martin. "
“I drove completely at the limit and only watched the pass in front of Martin on the board. How many laps to go, however, I watched on the big tower. I saw L1 and so drove another lap. But I forgot that the last circle here is marked with the number 0. ”
“At the end of the lap I dropped the throttle lever as I thought the race was over. I am sad for the team. We lost 9 valuable points today. If we want to fight for the title, I can't afford to make such mistakes. "
Racer April he thinks that he could fight for the victory today, but he was warned in the team to be careful at the beginning of the race not to wear too many tires.
“Yesterday, the team told me that I wear my tires too much, so I was a little more careful in the introduction. This was a mistake as at the end of the race my tires were not very worn. But Fabio was already too far away and I couldn’t catch him anymore. Fabio was not faster today, but only smarter than me, because in the beginning he drove faster and gained a safe advantage. ”
