“It’s a circuit with a few Ducatis in front, so it could be decided here. That’s why it’s very likely decided here. But what I want is also true. , I say. Honestly, that’s the response from Fabio.”

“This is the first opportunity, which is great, but it will also be the last for Fabio. He has to react. As a champion, he has to do it. They How will push, especially Fabio will be great, in Australia he took risks, but here you have to take real risks.

Alex Espargaro

“The goal is to stop Pecco because his form in the second half of the season has been incredible. There is.

Alex Rins

“He has the first ball split and it will be difficult for Fabio and Aleix. Ducati were very quick here in winter testing. Hopefully the title will come to Valencia, it will be more exciting.”

Enea Bastianini

“The Ducati are very fast so I think he could do it this weekend, but it will also depend on Fabio. “

Joan Mir

“I think the World Cup will be decided here. From the outside, we have this impression. Pecco has to do what he has been doing the last few days. I’m sure he will do it here as well.”

Pol Espargaro

“This is where Ducati have a great chance of winning the title, firstly because they know they can reach very high speeds here. Decision: “It’s perfectly normal for Pecco to be at the front uninterrupted. If I was at the front of a manufacturer, it would be exactly the same. I think a lot of Ducatis will surround Pecco on the grid and that’s the best way to do it.’ Protect him. “

Maverick Vinales

“The world championship ends when there are no more points to be scored. Everyone is very tired, the season is challenging and the pressure is on to win the title. Not just the drivers but the mechanics alike. There are great opportunities for Aleix, Pecco and Fabio too.I’m sure Aprilia will do well here.”

Jack Miller

“Now I think the ball is in Pecco’s court. He could certainly be close, but it’s always hard to predict, so anything can happen in a race. Mental. A factor is also important, and Pecco knew how to capitalize on it, avoiding mistakes and managing the race wisely can lead to good results for a long winning streak.”
