Colin Edwards - "We made a change to the rear tyre width from race one, making it wider and it did the job. My race time was four seconds faster than race one which should have been enough. But Bayliss and Xaus upped their pace in the second race. "I got the extra time I needed but we're working our socks off and still not winning. I'm feeling very frustrated with it all at the moment. "We've got a great machine in the SP-2, great tyres from Michelin but it's just not happening for me right now. I suppose if someone had told me I'd have five podiums from three rounds and not be closer to the title lead than I am I wouldn't have believed them. "What Troy (Bayliss) is doing has never been done before. We've got a lot of racing left this year and I know we're capable of winning this title. Let's see how Sugo goes for us?"

Noriyuki Haga - "Next to Australia, we've made a great leap forward, but it's still not enough. As long as my tyres held out, I was unstoppable: now we've got to work to make sure we can maintain the same pace for the entire contest. The tune's going to change at Sugo."

Ruben Xaus - “Today’s races were very hard for me, because of the incident with Chili in the warm-up. I feel really sorry about his injury because it wasn’t anyone’s fault. In race 1 I had to work hard to find a way past Haga, he wasn’t making it easy for me. I braked next to him, went further into the corner, then pulled out a gap and finished in the points. I felt much better in the second race after I used a different sprocket to Troy just to try to have better speed in the corners but it wasn’t enough. I think he was waiting for me in the end and then he just pulled away. I was power-sliding already so I settled for second and get some more points. I’m really happy with the weekend because starting from the third row it wasn’t easy but I need to clean up my Superpole act! There was nothing I could do against Troy today, he needs to give up racing!”.

Ben Bostrom - “There’s not much I can say really, unfortunately it’s another race out there. I had a great battle with Haga in race 1 but had no problem passing him. Those first few laps were pretty hectic but we were just unable to keep with those other guys. The bike’s perfect, I feel like I’m riding quite well, but for the moment it’s still frustrating not to be able to race for the win. Not much to add in race 2, the bike might have been too high because the rear wheel was spinning a lot. Hopefully at Sugo I stand a chance of winning”.

Neil Hodgson - Race 1 - “Obviously I would have liked to make it onto the podium. But the eleven points that I got from that race only serve to strengthen my position in the world championship. I enjoyed the race but it was a little frustrating. Edwards forced me wide at one point and that cost me quite a lot of time, but I had a good old dice with Haga and came out on top in the end. This result hasn’t done me any harm and I’m still six points clear of Haga in the points and only three behind Bostrom. The HM Plant Ducati and my Dunlop tyres feel spot-on, so I won’t really make any changes for race two – I’ll just try and wring a bit more out of it." - Race 2 - “I can’t really complain about fourth place in a race like that. The pace was incredibly hot and being able to maintain that pace over race distance has given me a lot more confidence in the HM Plant Ducati. I’m a little disappointed not to have taken at least third – if there had been another couple of laps left in the race I know that I could have passed Edwards. That said, this makes it six races and six good point scoring finishes and what I’ve learned here will help me perform even better for round four at Sugo. Another positive thing is that I won the battle with Bostrom – that means that he isn’t far ahead of me in the points and neither is Xaus for that matter.”

James Toseland - Race 1 - “I equalled my best ever World Superbike finish, so that is a great result for me. Although it was a bit of a lonely race, to finish behind Neil and over eight seconds ahead of the next placed rider is pretty good. The HM Plant Ducati was working really well and I knew that it would do what I asked it to, so I just want to get back out there for race two and see if I can improve some more.” - Race 2 - “I enjoyed that race more than the first, I would have liked to have at least equalled my sixth place from race one, but we changed the tyre pressure in-between races and I’m not sure it was the best move. Even so, to come away from Kyalami with 18 points is a decent result and if I can continue to rack up double figure race points, I’ll be happy.”

Gregorio Lavilla - "Pedercini was a nuisance because he has a fast bike, but he rides slowly in the corners. I tried to pass him many times and on the downhill chicane he made a mistake and I was able to get by. By the time we approached Wesbank corner at the top of the hill, I was about half a bike length ahead of him. He came across me and his handlebar hit me in the ribcage and both of us went down - it was so unnecessary. Before the crash, the bike was behaving like it had been all weekend, but I was catching Walker and I was thinking about a top six place - then boom! In race two, I made an OK start - considering my grid position - and everything was fine and I was catching Toseland. Then, after about six laps, the bike started losing grip and I couldn't go any quicker. Borja came past me and I tried to hold on to him, but it just wasn 't possible. Later I had a couple of really big slides, so I thought it would be better to stay onboard and ride for some points. At the moment we have a problem that is proving hard to solve. After four hours of qualifying we should be nearer to the solution, but it 's not working out that way and none of us are sure why. My only consolation this weekend is that I didn 't get hurt in the fall and that the bike went round Kyalami quicker then last year."
