Rossi - “In Italian, for this race we say ‘Mamma Mia!’ because it was a fantastic battle, the two Yamahas were like flying. After some laps I know if have to fight with Jorge and it was a great fight to the end. More or less we have the same pace so I’m not sure of the result to the end. The two greatest battles of the last two years was with Casey (Stoner) at Laguna and Jorge (Lorenzo) here, but two different battles because Casey doesn’t make it to the end at Laguna so the last five laps I can relax and here I fight t the end, to the last breath, to the last corner, to the last overtaking – it was fantastic. I want to give this victory to Jerry Burgess (Fiat Yamaha Crew Chief) because yesterday his mom passed away. A big kiss to you because without I do not arrive at 99 victories!”
