Casey Stoner completed the podium t o move level on points with Hector Barber?, who was sixth today but holds on to third place in the standings thanks to his race win at Catalunya.

Jorge Lorenzo - 1st: "I tried to get away, but the other riders were very fast and I even went off the track in one corner, but the main thing is I won."

Roberto Locatelli - 2nd: "The final lap was very hard because I was very, very near to the other riders and there was some contact. But second is very good for my situation because now I have more points for the championship so I'm very happy."

Casey Stoner - 3rd: "I didn't really expect to even be in the top eight this weekend as we had no time to set-up the bike, just 20-minutes in the warm-up, so I was a little bit worried about the race. When I tried to make my moves everything worked at first, but I got cut up a bit in the last lap. I managed to get on the podium in the last corner, but I would have preferred a better position."
