Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #1)
"It has been an exciting weekend and I am very happy to have put my signature on such an important milestone as the 400th victory for Ducati in Superbike. I'm also really happy because we even managed to improve on yesterday, especially in the Superpole Race. The advantage in the standings it is not my interest at the moment: what I'll remember from this day is the fantastic feeling with the bike.
Michael Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #21)
"Honestly it was a very difficult weekend. Right from FP1 the feeling wasn't the same as in the previous rounds; unfortunately, we couldn't work in FP2, then we had to run in wet conditions in FP3. Basically, we did setup in Race 1. At the same time, though, we need to be more responsive when we face difficulties like these. For sure we are not going to lose confidence from a weekend gone wrong."
