“I really like the Monza circuit. In the last couple of years I have stepped on the podium in three out of four races and therefore I am determined to continue this “tradition” especially now that I'm racing for the Winston Ten Kate Honda Team,” commented Toseland, “But there is another reason why I want to do well in Monza: what happened in Valencia must remain an isolated incident. If we want to try to win the title we have to stay in the top positions at every race. This is why we have to think of Monza as a form of revenge. It's also important because I've got a lot of supporters, and I don't want to disappoint them.”
Muggeridge is keen to get back on track, “I am looking forward to getting back on the bike at Monza and I think everybody can understand why. I believe that not participating in the Valencia race was the right decision because I needed to get back to my best physical shape best after the hard fall in the test. Now I feel good, I never stopped training and I am also mentally ready to do well. I hope to post good results right from Friday's free practice, and it would be good for my morale to try and take a good result at one of my favourite tracks,” he concluded.
