Karel Abraham said at the finish:
" After two races, when I ended up following the collapse on the country, I got to the finish, but of course I can not be satisfied. For the seventeenth place from the top it is not for receiving points. The I rode my best result in qualification in Mugello, but if I want to earn points, I have to be so much better at the begining. Today I started in mid-field but then I dropped by about seven places in the first corner. It was a huge crush again , and after two falls, I was still cautious. Then it was not completely wrong, I proceeded forward, even when the front wheel were "bouncing" and then I had to fight a lot. What surely helped me was an interview with Alex Debonem in Mugello. He rides with the FTR too, but we have to speak about that next time even more. "
