Aron Canet: "I’m very happy about this win, we had a great weekend. I felt good from the start and knew I could win. In the race I checked my laptimes to manage the lead until the finish. I want to thank my team and all the people of Fantic for the great work. We are now a little closer to the top of the World Championship, but we have to keep working and getting more points in the next races."
Roberto Locatelli: "Great race. Aron put for Fantic the icing on a perfect weekend. He was fast from the first round on Friday and got into the race building a feeling of Moto + driver in perfect harmony. He showed the same in England, where we were coming from a difficult time. We are continuing to get to know each other, to help him manage his enormous potential. As Team Manager it is a great satisfaction and now from midnight we reset everything because we have to prepare ourselves better for Japan. For Xavi it was a race already compromised by the sightening lap because of a fall."
