"You needed binoculars to see Marc anyway! Maverick was able to overtake me but started having trouble in the long corners, especially the left ones, so I stayed calm and made it to the podium." It’s the end of the European tour and I’m going back to Australia to surprise my mom! "

Valentino Rossi, Yamaha Factory (6th in qualifying and 8th in race) :  

Andrea Iannone, Aprilia Gresini (11th in qualifying, 11th in race) : "I had to grit my teeth this weekend, especially in the race because the pain in the shoulder forced me to save energy when the grip decreased (the Italian revived an old injury during of its three falls in Misano, Editor’s note).
