Nicky Hayden:
“I'm happy to have conquered the front row. It's not the first time this has happened to me this year but the other times I haven't achieved a good result in the race. I hope to reverse the trend. It will be important to get a good start and I think he is in a good position, where the track won't be too dirty. During testing we experienced major problems with the front end. To make a head race we must try to solve them. The front row was a pleasant surprise, I feel ready and I hope to give some smiles to the Team and the sponsors.”

Alex Barros:
“I'm really happy with today's result. Compared to yesterday I feel physically better. I have a good pace and I did a lot of laps on race tyres. We are very close to the leaders and the feeling with the bike is constantly improving. My hand and shoulder are much better, now I can concentrate on driving.”
