The race was stopped after a crash with more than two-thirds distance completed and the results were taken from one lap earlier, the 15th of a scheduled 23. u00a0Vazquez said: “This is my second top-10 this year and Mahindra has had one or both riders in the top-10 at every race so far.
This is really important, so finally I am happy with this position. I had a slight problem with the engine temperature coming up so the bike was not really fast. I tried my best and then the red flag came out.”
