The problems that began in practice and qualifying were a bit less today, though not enough to allow him to be as aggressive as he would have liked.

Carlos Checa (Ducati) won the first race, with Sylvain Guintoli (Ducati) second and Jonathan Rea (Honda) third. The second race - the final one of the season- saw Yamaha take a one-two, with Marco Melandri taking the win ahead of Eugene Laverty. Once again, third place went to Jonathan Rea.

Michel - Race 1: 11th, Race 2: 14th

I am disappointed to end the season like this, because today could’ve been so much better. I didn’t feel confident with the bike this weekend and although there was an improvement today, it was not enough. Between the warm-up and race one, we changed the bike back to the set-up we used in the second free practice, because that was the one that worked the best for me.In race one, my right wrist started getting sore and I was having difficulty on the brakes and getting the bike to turn quickly enough. It was very hard controlling the bike, so I suppose 11th wasn’t so bad. We changed the front and rear a bit for race two - just a few clicks - so that I didn’t have to exert so much pressure on the bars and it felt better. However, the whole set-up was still not as good as it could’ve been and the grip was not so great. It has been a bit of a frustrating weekend for us, but racing is like that sometimes. I just wished I didn't have to end the last race weekend of the season like this.
