Scott Redding (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #45)
"The first few laps were really difficult. From the middle of the race, though, I started to gain confidence. If I have to be honest, when I arrived close to the podium group and saw two Ducatis in front of me I thought, “I'll take some risks but I want to win”. I'm very happy to have given this satisfaction to my team. Let's keep on thinking race by race and then we'll take stock at the end of the season”.
Michael Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #21)
" I was really upset about the rain because my race pace in dry conditions was really positive. However, I remained focused and only thought about pushing. At the end, I tried to attack Bassani but in the last two laps, it was not easy to ride because of the water coming from his slipstream. Anyway, I am very satisfied and I hope to get another good result in the dry tomorrow".
