Čuponja Sete:

"I don't know what is going on this year. It's clear I'm lapping better than ever, mentally I'm strong and I need to know what is going wrong. These problems have happened on various occasions now but they just don't make sense."

Sete Gibernau's frustrating 2005 season continued at the circuit of Brno on Sunday. In a campaign blighted by bad luck and falls, it was a mechanical problem that did for the Spaniard in the Czech Republic, just metres from the chequered flag.

Valentino Rossi (Gauloises Yamaha Team), 1st "That was one of the hardest races of the season. After the warm-up I saw Sete's time and I wasn't sure that I could beat him in the race. I had confidence in the bike but I knew I was a bit slower than him. I spoke with Jeremy Burgess to ask for some modifications to be made to the bike in order to make a better compromise for the whole race and, like always, he and the rest of the team worked at 100% to improve the situation. There were a lot of fast riders out there but Gibernau was my hardest opponent so I tried to push him and put the pressure on from the start. It was a great fight with a lot of overtaking. In the middle of the race I decided to try to go and make a gap, but Sete came back. At the end I did three or four good laps, made the pass on Sete and then did a perfect final lap. Unfortunately Sete had a problem, which was bad luck for him because he deserved to be on the podium. Anyway this is a good win for me and now I just need one more for the title, but it is not over yet."
