Álvaro Bautista“After the win in Japan I’m feeling happy, strong and confident about going to Jerez this weekend and picking up another good result. I hope that there can be a group of Spanish riders running at the front and putting on a good show for the home supporters. Discounting Qatar, where our performance was [...]
Julián Simón“We arrive at Jerez lying second in the championship and really keen to play a lead role. The first two races have been really strange as far as the weather is concerned and the truth is that I’m looking forward to having a race in normal conditions. In Japan things went really well and [...]

2nd Julián Simón 2.00.864“It is a real shame that the weather has prevented us from riding again. I finished up second fastest yesterday but I set a lap that would have been good enough for pole – the only thing was they didn’t show the chequered flag and I was out of time, even though [...]
