GP Valencia 250: riders quotes and classification
05 novembre 2007 Andrea Dovizioso, Kopron Scot Honda: 4th "My position is better than I expected before the race but not what I expected as the race went on. My start was unbelievable and I was with Lorenzo very quickly and just sat behind him waiting but I saw he was not so fast. When De Angelis passed us and went away I realised it was not possible to follow him so I waited for Bautista and Kallio to do the same and tried to stay with them. But coming off the last corner onto the straight they just pulled away from me it is very frustrating to have to race under those conditions. The chassis suspension and tyres were great its just the lack of power that causes the problem for us. I am very unhappy with the way things have gone this season. But now we go to MotoGP where we will have plenty of power but I know this year could have been very different." Julian Simon, Repsol Honda: 6th."Not so bad in the end. My start was not so god - the worst of this year and I apologise to the team for that. But I worked hard after the and pushed really hard and caught the group and was able to stay with them till the end. The bike was good, chassis, engine and suspension, even in T13 where I was having trouble in qualifying. I have enjoyed this season and thank my team for everything. Now we get ready for next year and I hope to improve again and get on the podium." Yukio Takahashi, Kopron Scot Honda: 8th."I made a very bad start and at the first corner I braked too strong, so many riders passed me. Then I tried to recover position but from the middle of the race on I maintained a fast pace but I wasn't able to reach the front because of the error at the start. Anyway I'm satisfied about the progress I have made and I'm optimist for the next season. From now on I can just grow." Ratthapark Wilairot, Thai Honda PTT-SAG: 15th."It was important to be back in top 15, but a mistake at the start and another at the end of race prevented me to secure a better result. Anyway I think I had a good race, I was on the pace and I could fight with Baldolini until the end. It's the end of the season and I'd like to thank the team and our sponsors for their support throughout the year, helping me in my debut. I'm very thankful to them and I hope to keep progressing like this in the future." Shuhei Aoyama, Repsol Honda: 17th."Very bad race for me my worst overall performance. Yesterday I had a big crash and hurt my leg and hand - I had took painkillers before the start but not enough and my hand was painful in the race. My start was not too bad and I could follow Julian (Simon) Takahashi san and m brother Hiro but on lap three I ran of the track. When I rejoined the race I was almost last. I pushed again but finally I could only make 17th place." Eugene Laverty, LCR Honda: 21st. "It's been a tough year but I've learnt a lot. On the first lap Fabrizio Lai crashed in front me and I ran wide into the gravel but it's disappointing that we could not find the set-up to go faster. I was having huge slides."
