Sunday, 14 September 2008

The views of the three main protagonists in the 125cc Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix.

Espargaró, Terol an Bradl on the podium at Indianapolis (125cc)

Nico Terol – Race Winner

`I´m extremely happy! It was a strange weekend with the dry and wet conditions, and during the warmup this morning we had some problems which appeared to have been solved in the race. I was able to escape a little after catching Pol, but it was hard to know the limits once the rain had started to fall. This is a great win for me, and I want to thank everyone on the team and the sponsors for this.´

Pol Espargaro – Second Placed

`I´m happy, second is not something that you get every weekend. In the wet I was 18th, so it isn´t so bad I suppose. I was a little uncertain about if the race would be wet or not. It was hard out there, because I escaped and made two seconds up but I couldn´t keep up that pace, my front end went at the end of the straight and Nico caught me. But we had a good weekend overall.´

Stefan Bradl – Third Placed

`Maybe I could have won the race with a couple more laps. I had an awful start, with a gearbox problem. I pushed a lot and closed the distance on the group, even though I was having a problem with turn one. When it rained I just closed my eyes and opened the gas. I´m happy with this, I can´t believe it just yet.´
