REACTION QUOTES

Fabio Quartararo

“He’s an eight-times champion, what else can you say? It’s incredible what he achieves, what he does with the bike and the way he rides.”

Maverick Viñales

“Marc and Honda have been very dominant. The only word we can say is ‘congratulations’ because they did an amazing job. All we can do is close the gap and be ready for next year to battle with him from the first race.”

Andrea Dovizioso

“You can analyse a lot of things but if you check his points he has done something unbelievable and all we can do is congratulate him and his team.”

Jorge Lorenzo

“He’s made almost a perfect season apart from the Austin crash when he could have won that race, too – and that would have made him world champion even before now. His level has been much better than the rest and he has been strong on all tracks.”

Valentino Rossi

“Marc’s performance this year was like mine in my dominant seasons. Marc was always in front just as I was when I was in good shape. I don’t think it is going to be difficult for Marc to reach me and win a ninth championship. I’m sorry for this because I threw away two titles and one was stolen from me.”
