The words of the Italian after Race 1
March 4, 2023
These are the words of Locatelli after Race 1 of Mandalika: “I’m happy to have won another podium. I don’t know why but I didn’t start well and the first part of the race was difficult and I made a comeback. Then I found a good pace and everything went well. For tomorrow I will try to be quick from the very first laps to be able to be with Toprak. All things considered, I’m happy because we were in the top positions again today.”
“On this track it is difficult to overcome – he added -, because there is only one clean trajectory and if you get out of that you can also fall. It wasn’t easy because we had to be careful not to stress the front wheel. The Ducatis come out very strong from the corners and are fast on the straights, while our Yamahas can recover something in the corners. Tomorrow it will be important to do a good Superpole in order to be able to start from the front in Race 2″.
