Rider Quotes
Tyla Rattray:"I am very pumped ahead of tomorrow's race.
Today I had a big holeshot, I was out in front and put in
some good lap times. This is a good track and it's one that
I like. It was very hard at the beginning but after we had
ridden on it for a while it was fine. Tomorrow it will be
very hot and this will be one of the most difficult aspects.
But I am used to such weather from South Africa and it wont
worry me so much."
Tommy Searle: "It was good for me today.
I was always right behind Cairoli. I did make a couple of
small mistakes and I wasn't able to overtake him but I have
a good feeling for tomorrow. I like this track very much.
Its hard and bumpy but that's no problem and for sure I will
have a good day."
Rui Goncalves: "I had a very bad start
today and I did a wheelie right at the start. That was my
mistake. Tomorrow it will be very hot but I am used to it.
Tomorrow I hope to get a much better start and to have a good
race in front of my home crowd."
