Nicky Hayden >> 3rd at 13.100

Well I am pretty happy with the podium and I feel like we have done a decent job this weekend. Yesterday afternoon we made quite a big change with the front forks and I liked the results a lot. When I got into third position on lap two of the race I was thinking Now you have just got to get on his back wheel and for about three corners it was looking pretty good. But then I got onto the straight, looked up and realised that really I was just dreaming. So I just kept my rhythm and I really feel like I got the best out of the bike, myself and the tyres today. I do not feel like I left much on the table. So thanks to my team because those guys did a good job. Hopefully we can keep this form going and get a little bit stronger from now on. I would also like to dedicate this podium to Cedric Laprael, the parts guy in the Repsol Honda Team, who is not here this weekend because he had a parachuting accident during the summer break. Get well Cedric. The team is going to stay for a couple of days testing with some new parts from Honda and a lot of Michelin tyres so we can try to bridge the gap that the leaders have.
