Esteban has crashed when he was fifth and despite the crash he is satisfied with the work he has done this weekend.

11th David Alonso (+19.152): "I do not really know what happened, I do not know why I have crashed. I lost the front part of the bike on a way I did not expect. It is hard, but it will help us for the future. We have to accept it. At that moment I have thought that there was still a lot of race left and I have recovered the bike to see how far I could go."

Crash Joel Esteban: "I am happy despite the crash. In Jerez I have always struggled a lot and today I have been able to fight with the leading group for most of the race. I have made a couple of mistakes that have made me fall behind and then in the last corner I have pushed hard to try not to be passed and I have crashed when I was fifth. I am happy with the weekend. On Tuesday we have an important test to keep learning."
