He finished in second position in an all-Ducati podium. Johann Zarco lost places at the start and found himself in tenth.
The French rider was involved in a series of important overtakes and ended his last race in sixth place. He is fourth in the overall classification.
Jorge Martín
I couldn’t have asked for more. We finished what was a difficult race for me, with an important podium.
It has been an incredible year, filled with both highs and lows, from which we have come ot stronger than ever.
I would like to thank my team, Ducati, and my family.
Johann Zarco
I started off badly and lost a lot of positions. I was, however, able to race well. My race-pace was good and I made many overtakes. I am satisfied with my season and happt to have ended the year on a good note
There is a lot of motivation to do well next year.
