Interviewed by DAZN However, at the end of the race, Mir still wanted to pay tribute to Yamaha’s ‘old lion’: “I’m sorry for Vale, but this is a race. I was strong in the last part of the race. Valentino deserved the podium, but this time it was not possible – stressed the Suzuki rider, who managed to overtake the Yamaha rider in some corners, a feat that his teammate did not achieve in several laps – Rins was strong at first. In the end, however, I was stronger than him.. I couldn’t get past Vale, I don’t know why. When I passed it, I had Rossi in front of me. I managed to pass it cleanly. I also recovered in Bagnaia, I saw that I had problems in the last sector “.
