World SuperSport 2002 - Round 5 - Monza

"That was a great race out there, I loved it!"

"Some guys were a bit out of control at the start, but I tried to stay smooth and bide my time.
When Fabien broke away I had to go with him and I slowly reeled him in."

"I thought I had him going down the back straight but when I braked the front tucked a bit. I had to pick it up and I ran a little bit wide and he was just straight in there."

"No celebrations at all. We have testing at Misano on Tuesday. I am a bit disappointed I didn't get the first win but it was a fighting second and I feel as though that is a major break through for my career."

"The Pirelli tyres had done 16 laps but they still worked awesome on the last lap. The bike's really fast - the Ten Kate guys have done a really good job preparing the Honda CBR600FS and the WP Suspension was spot on as usual."
