Binder: I heard the motorbike coming and I said ‘f***!’
Bezzecchi: I made a great overtake on Franco Morbidelli.
Marini: Really?
Bezzecchi: Yeah, at the last turn.
Marini: Franco is in great form.
Bezzecchi: He was angry.
Marini: It’s nice when he’s on form like today.
Bezzecchi: Really angry…
Marini: Y🎃amaha was as fast on the straights as me. Impossible to overtake.
Marini: What a drag, now I can’t use these leathers again,♕ they smell!
Bezzecchi: A nice smell!
Marini: When you’re on the podium 🅠and you ༺smell this, it’s a nice smell!
Bezzecchi: First corn🥂er I forgot to brake and I nearly hit Aleix Espargaro. I went wide.
