COTA hosted round four of the 2022 MotoGP season, and between riders, manufacturers, and track surfaces there were plenty of winners and plenty of losers.
'It's not just one race, by coincidence. Since Misano-Aragon last year we've been always close to the podium. So it looks like a natural evolution' – Davide Brivio, Suzuki MotoGP team manager.
Franco Morbidelli expresses his delight at securing a personal best MotoGP finish in Austin; “We need to work, we need to improve to get those 8 seconds” to challenge for podium finishes.
Danilo Petrucci is relieved to rescue a top six finish after finding himself “in trouble” on Friday; “I'm unhappy about the distance, the gap between me and the first riders.”
'It's not like the last two years' - Andrea Dovizioso says evidence so far shows four riders, from four manufacturers will fight for 2019 MotoGP title.
'It's a long time that I don’t win, and today was a great opportunity'- Valentino Rossi misses out on first MotoGP win since 2017 by less than half-a-second at COTA.
'It has been six amazing years here, but today I did a big mistake' - Marc Marquez falls from comfortable lead at COTA, ending hopes of seventh successive victory.
