Sete Gibernau – “We fought with the utmost effort for
the whole season and in the end the title went to Valentino. AND'
rightly so and I congratulate him. It gave me satisfaction to fight
with him throughout the season, in every race. It was very nice. Today
I was very clear about what my goal was: to make a good start and try
to go on the run. But when he passed me I couldn't answer.
In any case it is a second place and I think it is an excellent result.
From now on I am very focused on defending my place as vice-champion
of the world. Today I had yet another confirmation that I am in the best team
of the world and I know I can count on the support of the entire team. I want
reward their desire to work hard every day with results.
I am also proud to be able to count on the support of Telefonica MoviStar
which allowed me to fight for the title until the final race. Telephone
it is a sponsor that is doing a lot for our sport. In fact, the
title in 125 conquered by Dani Pedrosa is not accidental but testifies
a well-planned job. I congratulate Dani on his victory;
I think today is a really special day for him."

Ryuichi Kiyonari – “I am not satisfied at all. During
I wasn't able to perform at my best during the weekend and I paid for it in the race
a hefty bill. I started badly and this affected my race. I hope
in Australia to be able to fine-tune the bike as best as possible in the tests and therefore
to be able to have a good race."

Fausto Gresini – “Sete had a good race, without any mistakes.
He started very well and was able to maintain a high pace throughout.
Once again he has shown that he is in great form and I congratulate him on that
his race. He was good and fought for the title from the beginning of
season with the world champion. Now let's think about the last two races, in
which we aim to achieve another victory”.
