Sete Gibernau, Movistar Honda MotoGP: Dnf: "I'm really sorry that I've failed to finish the race again - there's not much else to say. We had a good warm-up this morning but once again we've been unable to finish things off in the right way on Sunday. All I can say about the crash is that I'm sorry. I tried to pass Nakano on the inside on the brakes but made contact with my front brake lever and lost the front end."
