Jonathan Rea said : "I would have laughed if you had told me on Friday that I would win three races. I didn't expect this after practice. We took advantage of the wet race on Saturday and in the two races today I had zero problems. The team gave me a great bike and yes, you could say I'm happy"

Jonathan Rea said : "After the red flag, the only oil flag I saw was after the chicane over the blind crest where we are on the brakes. I almost lost the front, let off the brakes and ran straight on. There were cars, marshals and crashed bikes everywhere - a strange moment"

Jonathan Rea commented : "It was a solid weekend and we extracted the best out of the Kawasaki ZX-10RR for three second places, trying 100%. We made a small change between race one and the sprint race, but it didn't work. Once I lost Alvaro's slip-stream I just managed my own races and enjoyed the scraps with Alex. "
