“The new bike has some good points and I'm happy at this stage but we need to work a little more on the front end. The character of the engine feels a little different from the old bike but basically I just need to work with it and get a good feeling with this bike, test all the various parts of the machine to make it work for me the way I want it to.”
~ Marco Melandri
“It rained the whole day so I went on track just to get the feeling of the bike on wet conditions. The bike worked very well and I gathered positive information. I hope that tomorrow the weather improves so that we can carry on our work schedule.”
~ Marco Melandri
“It's good to see my friend racing again, he is a great talent and needs to be back at the front again.”
~ Marco Melandri
"It's been a strange season, some races have been bad, some good. Today didn’t start so well."
~ Marco Melandri
"The rear side of the tyre was too hard for the first 5 laps. When the tyres were warm the feeling was good and I started to catch front two. I have been lucky; if Rossi hadn’t have broken down for sure I would have lost to hicm."
~ Marco Melandri
