Dani Pedrosa (250cc) : "I feel much better; my left shoulder is doing well, although I can't say that it's completely recovered. I went to the doctor right after arriving in Barcelona and he calmed me down, telling me that with an intensive treatment it would be much better for Australia. I obviously haven't been able to do any practice these days, but I've been able to rest and to do a bit of rehab, after three races in a row which have been complicated and rather conditioned due to my physical state. I'm in high spirits for Australia, eager to prepare the race well and ready to fight, as always. I know that there are a lot of people wanting to win in Phillip Island, but I'm also looking forward to winning again, so we'll see what happens."

Héctor Faubel (125cc) : "Qatar wasn't that bad; the bike responded well and, although we didn't manage to get on the podium, which I would have liked to, we were in the front, with the leading group. Now we arrive in Phillip Island, a track that also adapts well to the features of the Aprilia, therefore I would like to finish on the podium once and for all. Analysing the season, it's been a shame to have had so many failures throughout the year. If we wouldn't I'm sure that we would be on a much better place in the overall standings."
