Anthony West
"This weekend has been a huge disappointment. I had the same problems in the race that I've been having all weekend; I just don't seem to have the confidence in the front-end of the bike, and that meant I couldn't push for a good lap time at all. It's frustrating, as Jamie had the same problem at the beginning of the weekend but managed to ride around it. I need to go away from here and get it together during the summer break, so I can come back at Brno and try and score the results I know I'm capable of."

"Jamie has done a fantastic job all weekend, and he pushed hard and rode a great race today. He proved to everyone in his first race that our bike was capable of running at the same pace as the riders who were battling for fourth. With a higher qualifying position and a better start, he'd have been battling for position much further up the order today. I'd like to personally thank Jamie for his approach to the weekend; everyone in the team appreciated his professionalism. I know Anthony is disappointed with his performance this weekend, but it's difficult to identify exactly where his problem is at the moment. He needs to work hard now to justify his place in MotoGP. The Kawasaki Racing Team is here to secure results, and he needs to convince us he can be a part of that. We will speak to him during the summer break to see if we can find some way of improving his form ahead of the next race."
