Finished on the ground at Turn 8 when there were still 19 laps to complete, Franco Morbidelli sent the Thai weekend into the archives with much regret for what could have been, but was not. His troubles, however, began earlier. Having started from Pitch 11, the Prima Pramac team rider was making a fine recovery when, by then behind Quartararo in fifth, the patatrac and subsequently a penalty did not come.
"It was my mistake, actually not wanting to pass him," he confessed hotly, returning to what happened on the third lap. " At one point I saw that I was going too fast inside the corner and I hoped that something good would happen and that he would see me a little earlier, but I arrived really late and so we touched and he fell. I'm sorry because my mistake ruined his race and set the stage for him to do the same with mine since I was on a comeback. I wanted to pass Fabio and Binder as soon as possible to get to Marquez, Martin and Bagnaia and instead I took a Long Lap Penalty."
Not everything is to be thrown away, however. "On the positive side, right from the start I went strong, however, in the crucial moments I made costly mistakes. Is this a missed opportunity? Fortunately they are coming up often, so even if it is, there will be another one soon. What comforts me? Great speed, maybe not so much on Friday, but on Saturday I was front row and crashed and today I was podium, but unfortunately I ended up knocked out again. For the future just don't slip," concluded the Ducatista trying to joke about it.
