Álvaro Bautista:
“Luck hasn’t been on our side over the past couple of races. I guess that in this sport, as in any other, you have to prepare yourself properly and believe you can win but you also need a touch of luck too. After Portugal I was sure that we couldn’t hold anything back in the races that remained, that it was time to take a few risks and that’s what we did in Australia. The gamble didn’t pay off but we can’t lose heart. Sepang is another circuit I love and I know that the Aprilia can perform much better than the Honda here, so we have to make the most of it. The championship is a very slim possibility but it is still a possibility and we have nothing to lose, so we’ll just give it our best shot every time we go out onto the track and try everything we can to win the last two races.”
Mike Di Meglio:
“Sepang is a circuit where I usually struggle to find a good set-up and feel comfortable. Even last season, when I was fighting for the podium, my bike wasn’t 100% right. It will be new and different with the 250 so I hope I can adapt quickly. Looking back on the race in Australia I realised where I went wrong and why I made the mistakes I did, and I want to work hard to make sure they don’t happen again. The result at Phillip Island wasn’t bad but I wasn’t completely satisfied with it because I see myself more of a frontrunner now than a chaser. I also want to get back on the podium – we have the material and enough quality to do it.”
Balázs Németh:
“Everything will be new for me again in Malaysia, just as it was at Phillip Island. I’m really excited about it because from what I know about Sepang it is an incredible circuit – not just because of its length but also its characteristics. I’m sure I’m going to like it so I head into this weekend with plenty of motivation and ready to work hard from Friday. It won’t be easy because fatigue always plays a part when you have back-to-back races but I hope I can give it my best shot. In the past two races I have been a hair’s breadth from getting back in the points and I want to do so as soon as possible.”
