I`m very very happy with the result today. This is a victory I`d like to dedicate to the Repsol Honda Team and to HRC because they have been working really hard for a long time without getting the results and I`m very happy they`ve stayed motivated and put in maximum effort for every race. Now they have some reward. I am also pleased for the fans because they`ve given me great support even when I wasn`t winning. The race went very well obviously. I made a good start, pushed hard from the beginning and was able to open up a gap and control things from the front. The tyres were really good today and Michelin did a very good job, especially as some riders were having difficulties. Towards the end of the race the gap was big so I could take it relatively easy, which I was grateful for because it was very hot out there. The result closes the gap slightly in the championship which is good, but the really important thing about today is that we are winning again. Hopefully we can move on from this result and continue to get stronger.
