Troy Bayliss, Xerox Ducati: "I am very happy and of course it's increased my championship lead which is great. I rode two really good races. I struggled a little at the start of Race 1 but once I started to pull away in the closing stages I began to relax a bit. My Ducati has worked perfectly and was a pleasure to ride so a big thank you to my team as we just got everything right today. The tyres did the job too and we didn't seem to suffer from the tyre wear that affected some of the other front-runners. In race 2 the other guys were coming fast towards the end, and I didn't have much left to give, but I held on and am extremely happy with the result. Well done to Michel too who rode two great races here today."

Troy Corser, Yamaha Motor Italia: "In race one I was reasonably happy and the bike was working well for the first half of the race. The rear tyre just dropped off a little bit and we lost a few tenths after that. When Troy came past I tried to go with him but he had a bit more grip coming off the corners. But other than that we were pretty even. I pushed as hard as I could to stay with him but was careful not to throw away second. In race two we had a problem from about lap four or five. As has happened in the past we have spun the tyre on the rim and there was a vibration through the bike in every part of the track. From then on it was a case of just holding on to see where we ended up. I kept looking back to see who was behind and just kept pushing as much as I could. If the tyre had not have spun on the rim then we would have been up the front. It's just disappointing because I was feeling good and the bike was good. We moved up to third today, which is a positive thing, but it could have been much better.”

Noriyuki Haga, Yamaha Motor Italia: "In race one my qualifying position did not help me, but I caught up to pass Neukirchner at the end and got some points. I'm not sure what was the problem with the bike in race two but the engine was not working right and I had to swap my bike. We swapped some settings from race one to race two on that spare bike and it worked quite well. I enjoyed the race because I had to make many passes, which was very exciting. I hope from this point on we can work in a good direction until the end of the year and improve our championship position.”

Max Biaggi, Sterilgarda Ducati: "I had fun in both the race although in the final laps I had to be careful about the rear grip decrease in the quick long corners especially in race-1 when it was eight laps to go. We made some changes for the second race and we succeeded to contain the tyres wear. It would have been great to win but I’m satisfied anyway. We finished ahead of many factory team and that means that we have done a great work."

Michel Fabrizio, Xerox Ducati: "These were two great but difficult races today! During the second half of both races 1 and 2 I was able to increase my pace and in both cases this meant that I caught up to Max (Biaggi) before having to battle it out with him in the final stages for the podium places. Before the start of Race I I thought it would be the front tyre I would need to worry about but that turned out to be fine and it was actually the rear that was pretty worn out by the end. In the second outing it seems that I fell asleep mid-race before waking up again, in the sense that I continued to get faster during the latter stages, making my fastest lap just three laps from the finish. I predicted that I'd be caught up with the two Troys and Biaggi and that turned out to be the case. I am very happy with the results."

Ruben Xaus, Sterilgarda Ducati: "It has been a bad luck week-end. This track is not my favourite one but I did markedly improvements compared to last year and I felt confident to finish both the race with a good result in order to gain some position on the ranking. I’m just satisfied with the times I recorded when I was on the track. The next round will take place on a track which suits my riding style, and I hope to get back the chance to fight for the podium there."

Max Neukirchner, Alstare Suzuki: "We had a lot of problems in the first race and it wasn't possible for me to get on the gas quickly enough in and exiting the turns. So for race two, we changed the rear spring and the bike felt much better and more consistent. Apart from that, the bike and tyres were the same for both races and I suppose the other real problem was that the Ducatis were so strong here. They were fast and could all get on the gas as early as they wanted and were able to out accelerate all of us four cylinder riders.  I love this circuit and it is like a second home track for me because a lot of my fans come here. I am happy to be the best Suzuki rider today, but I'm disappointed not to be on the podium."

Niccolo' Canepa, Xerox Ducati: "I am a bit disappointed, certainly. All weekend we have suffered from set-up problems. Today we had issues going race distance. This morning the bike went well for the first fifteen laps and I was able to ride hard at the same pace as the front-runners but then unfortunately the front tyre was totally worn. I couldn't do much about it and you could see after the race that it was totalled destroyed. Between the two races we tried to make some modifications but things got worse and the tyres were showing wear after only a few laps. When the brakes began to play up too I decided to retire as it was risky to continue to make fast laps in that way."

Yukio Kagayama, Alstare Suzuki: "We made some changes to the suspension settings for race two and, although the bike felt better, the result was the same! Today I had some problems braking hard and then getting past other riders. I could catch them up but I couldn't get on the gas as quick as they could. I was also losing out on acceleration to them because my rear was spinning. My left hand is not up to full strength yet so I couldn't always be as aggressive as I wanted to be. But overall, I am a little disappointed with the results today."

Fonsi Nieto, Alstare Suzuki: "This was a bad weekend and I am not happy at all. Normally, our practice, qualifying and Superpole are bad and the races are good, but today it was the other way round! In race one, the front tyre just wasn't working and then I had a small crash when Checa closed the door on me and I ran onto the dirt, lost control of the bike and crashed. I got back on and managed to finish the race in 14th place. We used the same bike and tyres for race two but, after a few laps, I felt a vibration on the bike and then couldn't push hard. The tyre was moving on the rim and although I could've pulled out of the race, I decided to keep going as best I could."

Carlos Checa, Ten Kate Honda: “I had some problems with the front
tyre in the first race as it was wearing out too
quickly and I lost the opportunity to catch the
top guys. We changed the settings a little bit
for the second race to lengthen the tyre life and
the feeling with the machine became much better.
Of course, from my thirteenth position on the
grid was not easy to start the race and make my
way forward. In the second race I was able to
catch up with a fast group. Then I started to
have problems with my bike; it just stopped
working. I made a reset on my electronics and
switched off the traction control to finish
another lap, but I had to go back to the garage.
It’s a disappointing results for me today.”

Ryuichi Kiyonari, Ten Kate Honda: “I had a very bad start in both
races. I practiced my starts in the qualifying
sessions but I just struggle in the races and
lose too many positions in the first lap. I have
had no problems with the settings of the machine
and the feeling has been very good all weekend.
The last three or four laps the bike started to
misfire, but I managed keep my position. I tried
to save my front tyre but pushed too hard on the
rear tyre and finished it in the last laps. My
mechanics have worked hard and we’ve pushed hard
to set the results. It was not easy this weekend
but we found a good setting and managed to gain
improve our pace. I’m just disappointed about the
start of the race. If I had a good start I would
have been able to get better results.”

Kenan Sofuoglu, Ten Kate Honda: “I started from twenty-sixth
position today and managed to finish both races
in tenth place. It looks like we are heading in
the right direction. We pushed very hard in the
Vallelunga test to change my riding style and
improve the pace and it looks like today we saw
the result of that. My physical condition is
becoming better and there certainly is more
motivation now for the forthcoming races. I am
looking forward to going to Brands Hatch for the next round.”
