Hickman (1st): "Really nice, the Stock has been working awesome all week. We've got a really good setting so just parked it [last week] and concentrated on the Superbike where we've been struggling more. I just enjoyed myself out there, even did a few wheelies and waved to the crowd on the last lap! This place is so fantastic to ride!"
Dunlop (2nd): "Grand. The mileage and set-up wasn't quite what it should be - but Pete came out the blocks fast, simple as that. We'll try to make it better and see from there."
