"It wouldn't have been too tough if we'd got away with them at the start but we just didn't seem to have it there at the beginning of the race and then I got shuffled back a fair way by a few dodgy pass manoeuvres."
~ Casey Stoner
"Once we'd got our rhythm and finally got past Marco (Melandri) and Carlos (Checa) then we were free to put in some good lap times and push further forward. There were a few stupid manoeuvres out there which lost us a few seconds."
~ Casey Stoner
"The bike and the tyres were okay, so without that dodgy passes we would've been fighting for the podium at the end of the race but that's the way it goes, that's the way the race panned out. Now I'm going back to Australia for these next two weeks to train as hard as I can and get myself set for the rest of the season."
