Neil Morrison: "Maybe I’m one of last normal people that made it without being a phenomenon. When I was young I was 'just' a good rider. But I never stopped believing. Two times I showed people I was the best on that circuit on that day..."

Quartararo: "We need a bike to fight with the Ducatis, Yamaha knows it": "Unfortunately, when you start behind, it's difficult to overtake in Valencia. I spoke to the manufacturer: we need a bike that allows us to fight with the others with more ease "
Joan Mir reckons this Ducati has no weaknesses: “it was frustrating": Mir: "I tried everything, I didn’t find any weak points to exploit, the Ducati has gained 15" in a year, this worries me. "Rins:" Now let's think about the testing, we have a lot of things to work on. (Like staying on the bike?)
Morbidelli: “Today it was impossible to attack and overtake Valentino”: “In the race he had an incredible pace and I could only stay behind him. Valentino will always remain our hen, because he is the wisest and most experienced "
Jack Miller: Wrapped to finish the season with a podium- 4th in the championship, 3 places better than last year and hopefully we can make it another 3 places better next year. It was a special day full of celebrations, it is a day that I won't ever forget

Mat Oxley: Many great moments during the Valencia weekend. Personal favourite: Miller on the Prosecco in the post-race presser… Bagnaia reveals he’s taking his lady to NYC after getting the metal out of his right tibia (Brno 2020). Miller looks at him and says: “Che romantico!”
Congrats to the "Espargabros" for winning the MotoGP brothers championship. With 220 points, they scored more than the other 2 pairs of brothers in the premiere class!
Mir: «There are those who say that I have not defended the title with dignity, but you have to live it before pointing the finger»

Mat Oxley: Pol Espargaro will be fit for the 2-day Jerez test, starting tomorrow, after his MONSTER Valencia highside. This test is HUGELY important because factories must finalise their 2022 engines. Not enough time to do that between next tests (early February) & first race (early March)

Bezzecchi: “Exciting MotoGP, the first 3 laps makes you shit on you”: “It's a completely new world, the difference is crazy, you can't understand it until you try it: it's not easy to open the throttle. The braking impressed me but not as much as the power.
