Scott Redding (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #45)
"It's been a positive weekend, during which we have been able to improve in terms of feeling. In Race 2 I tried to stay with Rea but his pace was better than mine also due to the strong wind, which is always a big obstacle for me. Anyway, I am very satisfied with what we have done. I will continue to fight, race after race".
Michael Ruben Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #21)
"It was a really tough Sunday. I got a good start in the Superpole Race, the feeling was positive but I crashed without making a particular mistake. I tried to give my best in Race 2, resisting the pain that was obviously strong; I eventually brought home some precious points. I would like to thank the Clinica Mobile and the Medical Centre for the care they gave me".
