"It feels pretty good to be up here and to win the race. In the first laps I tried to get in front, try to get clear track and pull a bit of a gap. We had no idea what the tyres were gonna do in the wet. As the track started drying I was a little worried and it wasn’t easy. I’m very happy to get this win. I want to thank my team and all my supporters and I want to dedicate this win to my Dad. He asked for a podium this week as he has had a rough week and I told him I would see what I can do. I went a little bit better so I hope he is having fun."

"I’m very happy with this second position. The race was very hard for me. It was difficult in the rain to pass the other riders. But my passes were good and my bike is very good. Step by step my passes were very good. This is a very beautiful second position and very close to victory. This result is important for me, for my crew, my team, my sponsors and thanks to everybody."

"Our bike seems to work quite well in the wet and I don’t mind it. It seems to suit my riding style. At the beginning Nicky was doing such a good pace and I was a little bit worried to go with him, because I wasn’t sure if he had really done a lot of work with the tyres, or if he knew they would drop a little bit. When Davide came through he had much more grip than Chaz. I was quite happy to leave Chaz there a little bit, so I knew when I went through I had more traction to go away. So I just want to thank all the Kawasaki Racing Team because they gave me a great bike in the break. It’s not ideal when the weather turns upside down two hours before the race. We were really reactive and we have put a championship performance in this weekend. So I’m really, really happy.”
WorldSSP: Badovini and Khairuddin Duel to the Finish

"It’s an incredible day both for me and for my team,” said winner Badovini. “We didn’t expect this but when we started the race in the wet conditions the feeling was good on the bike and I was thinking ‘I think we can do well..’ I was waiting for something in the last corner and then looking for a solution. He passed me in the corner and I saw he was going a bit long so I tried to close and it was an incredible fight. He’s a nice rider and it was a good race."

"At the beginning of the Race I had great confidence in the bike in the wet and I tried to pull away but it was not easy. By the end of the Race the right side of my tyre wasn't great so I just pushed more on the left than on the right and with four laps to go we started to battle. I was quite sure I could pass him on the last lap on the last corner but when we arrived there I braked too much and lost the front a little bit, so I didn't have enough drive out of the final corner. It was an exciting Race!”
