Australian GP. Driver´s comments

Dani Pedrosa: ‘In Australia Id like to enjoy the race and win without pressure’.
Valentino Rossi: It is sometimes difficult to restart after such a great weekend especially as we have no break really before the next GP but I love Phillip Island. I have had very good experiences there and we try to make the best result. I love to race there and the bike works very well at the moment. We look to have real fun for the rest of the season. I would be very happy to make the podium for every race in the season. We win the title and the team championship now this could be the target to keep the motivation. Nicky Hayden: When I tested at Phillip Island back at the beginning of the year I really enjoyed it. The track, the atmosphere, and the ocean in the background; makes for a real good settin. The track lay out is great too. The big left handers and the last corner is real fun. Ive waited since February to get back there and I cant wait. Im hoping for a good result from the last two races; here and at Valencia, back in Europe, to finish my first MotoGP season off on a high. Im feelin great at the moment and just want to up the momentum. Fonsi Nieto: I like very much both circuits were going to visit now, Australia and Valencia. Phillip Island is one of my favourite tracks because most of the corners are very fast. You always ride to the limit on this track but it has also the inconvenient of being a bit bumpy and the asphalt lacks a bit of grip. Im more motivated after the podium finish in Malaysia. It was a pity to miss the second place by thousands of a second. Finishing in front of Poggiali was very important both for Toni and for me. Last year I made a good race here, in Phillip Island. I feel comfortable on this circuit and I think that well be able to do a good job. Well follow the same working line as we did in Malaysia to try to improve the setting of the bike.   Toni Elias: After the victories in Motegi and Malaysia Im in high spirits and I feel very comfortable on the bike, and I want to finish the season repeating these results. Ive always been good on this track, its very fast and entertaining, but we need to have a good setting and the right tyres if we want to win and keep the chances for the title. I wasnt very lucky last year because I suffered a heavy crash on Saturday leaving me quite sore and I also felt physically very bad due to flu. We have to keep our feet on the ground because the championship is still very contended, but there are fifty points at stake and anything can happen. Ill try to make things difficult for Poggiali until the last race. I now that it will be complicated because Manuel is fighting very hard, but we still have many possibilities to get the title. Dani Pedrosa. Im still on a cloud; what happened last week in Malaysia is something indescribable, I dont know how to express what I felt that moment. Its been the crowning point and a reward for the work of all those who have been supporting me these years: Telefónica, Alberto Puig, my family, Repsol, my team.., They have all made it possible that I finally became World Champion. Now we arrive in Phillip Island, and well have to concentrate to fight for a new victory, because there are two races left and in Australia Id like to enjoy the race and win without pressure. And in Valencia obviously as well. It would be great to celebrate the title with all the Spanish fans winning the race in front of them!
