Niccolò Antonelli: "It has been an amazing race, I am really happy! At the beginning I decided to do not push too much, I knew that KTM bikes were faster here I decided to stay behind Binder because I was aware that if I stayed there the podium was guaranteed. In the last lap I did the maximum, and I also risked in some occasions but I think that it was worth it! Now we enjoy this moment, relax some days and we fly to Argentina, one of my favorite track".

Jules Danilo: "It has been a great race! Today I really feel good on the bike from the beginning. I worked a lot this winter, especially form the mental point of view, in order to stay more calm during the race, that it's what I've missed last year. Today I started well and I stayed concentrated as I knew I could be fast. I stayed together with the group and I did the last lap ahead. I thank my team for the excellent job and now we go to Argentina with a great mood".
