GP Valencia 125, riders quote and classification

05 novembre 2007

Tito Rabat, Repsol Honda: 6th "I got a terrible start and had to push really hard to make up
places. I passed many riders but when I got on to the back of the last group I had to follow them. After about mid-race the rear tyre performance dropped off but only slowly and I could stay with them But when Gadea caught and passed Pablo (Nieto) I could not get passed and lost ground. The only problem I had today was at T11 where the engine was not picking-up, I don't know why but anyway it wasn't a big problem. I have to thank my team for the way they have helped me develop and given me their best every week - we were the best Honda today."

Bradley Smith, Repsol Honda: 8th "My start was awesome I was third at the end of lap one! I just tried to hang in there and had a good pace and it was only down the straight that they could pass me on power. After about 10 laps the rear started to slide badly on the left hand corners and I was lost the slipstream of the guys in front. After that they could run high 39 lap times while I could only run low 40s. I have had two top 10 finishes in the last two races and 10th in the championship so I have to be happy with that. I just wish to thank the team for everything they have done for me - its been great working with them."

Alexis Masbou, FFM Honda: 14th "I had quite a good start but after that I was a little too fast entering the corners, with too much machine angle on the exit to accelerate well, and that¹s why the fast pack were able to move away early in the race. Then Juan Olive passed me, and I was able to catch a good pace again with better cornering lines. The lap times just followed and I was able to catch up. I finished the race on the side of Ranseder with whom we exchanged positions quite a few times. I thought I could pass him in the last straight line before the flag, but we touched in the last few hundred meters and the slipstreaming effect wasn¹t enough for me to pass him on the line. Once again, we saw today that finishing in the points is far from easy, but we made it."

Danny Webb, Molenaar Honda: 21st."That was a brilliant race I really enjoyed it. I got a good start and was with a good group of about seven and we were chasing the last championship point. I would gain some places and then get re-passed. But after about 17 laps my rear  tyre started to slide badly but I had a good lead over the next group so I decided not to take any risks and finish the race."

Mike Di Meglio, Kopron Scot Honda: 23rd."Not a good race for me. I crashed in the warm up this morning - the front end closed on me just like yesterday. Two crashes in two days is not so good and I raced with a sore back and right forearm and hand. I just could not concentrate my hand was too painful."

Joey Litjens, Molenaar Honda: 24th."Not a good race for me at all! I crashed in practice and hurt my shoulder and that mad Braking very difficult for me. I had a lot of pain and it affected my concentration - I made too many silly little mistakes. Pity because my bike was really very good all weekend."
