It appears there was an electronic fault. I touched green but on the bike I don’t know because it’s very hard. Later in the pictures you can see but they have to confirm at the moment“.
“It’s not a penalty that takes five minutes. Yes, the time was crazy, that’s why it makes me even more angry. We are experts at making our lives complicated. If it’s not for one thing, it’s for another. But the important thing is that in the end we showed speed. In qualifying, we had this point of bad luck. He pressed the green button, but the notification came very late. This had never happened but it seems there was a connection problem. Something about Wi-Fi or something,” Marc admitted to ‘DAZN’.
