Scott Redding (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #45)
"I had a lot of emotions both in my head and in my heart. I only had one goal and that was to win for Jacey, for Brad (Jones), for myself. It was a very positive weekend even though I was a little upset yesterday with how the race ended. But it's clear that hot reactions can be wrong sometimes. The championship standings? I don't want to think in those terms. I just want to get the most out of every race. Then we'll do the math at the end of the season."
Michael Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati)
"It was a positive race overall. Unfortunately, the result of the Superpole Race compromised our chances of fighting for the podium. At the beginning of the race, I didn't have enough grip to push as hard as I could, but from the middle of the race the feeling improved and I was able to pass Haslam and Sykes to catch Lowes, too. I'm relatively satisfied even though it's clear that we have to work to be faster. I would like to congratulate Scott for the beautiful victory and for his proposal to Jacey".
