It was a fantastic race and my best race of the year by far. It was a battle between great riders and it was fantastic to win like this. I would like to say thank you to my team because the bike was very, very fast.
battling easy few quite race riders strong tough
It was a tough race with quite a few strong riders battling it out at the finish. It was not easy to overtake, but a few of them managed to do it.
bike changes corners fast few full good lap looking lots means potential problems quite riders speed team today tried vibration within work yesterday
We still have quite a few problems with the vibration and this means that we can't use the bike to its full potential and make fast lap times. We've tried lots of changes to the set-up today - balance, suspension, but the problem remains. In some of the fast corners my speed is down by as much as 15 or 20kms. The good thing is that we're much better than yesterday and we've done some really good work within the team to make these improvements, but it's still not enough and some other riders are looking very strong.

I think it's going to test the riders and the bikes to the maximum.
