QUOTES – MARCOS AMBROSE
“It was a reasonable day for us,” said Ambrose.
“We fought hard and had a good strategy and stayed out of trouble – which is one of the things you want to try and do before the start of the race.
“t would have been nice to get a top-10 out of it, but we’ll take 14th and move on.
“We’re hanging in there. We’re in the middle of the main bunch, which is all you can really ask for.”
