I've had two crashes in a row, but now I won and my opponents are dead. Obviously, I'm sorry for them, but those are the ups and downs of racing and is an incredible achievement for me. I was strong all weekend and I want to thank my team for giving me a great bike. I had a difficult start and I had to fight very hard to pass and go elsewhere but then I had a good rhythm and I managed to go with Valentino and Dani. Once fallen Dani knew it would be a tough fight between me and Valentino and in fact when he fell I did not understand right away because I misread my pit board and thought would say 0! However, the My bike was great and from then on it was pretty easy, and they stayed focused. I had great fun on the slowing down lap with the fans and I am so happy to win at this track. The season is almost over, but things in a single day changed a lot. It will be tough but we will not give up! "
"What a race!" You know, in a World Championship like this should always be the limit to win. In the last two races I was on the edge and fell, while in Indianapolis the situation has changed completely. Everything worked perfectly on the bike and I think I could set a lap time of 1m 39.8, but when Valentino crashed I did not want to risk it. Before this race I said that the fight for the world title was almost finished, but now the championship is reopened. I enjoyed the last lap and I am very happy! "
