Fabrizio Pirovano - 1st, 1:54.743:"I really enjoyed myself today and it’s so much fun racing again - especially at Monza. It’s a very special place and I really want to win the race tomorrow. It’s so important for me here. The bike was perfect today and everything went ok, though there was a very small problem with my rear shock when I accelerated out of the turns. But it wasn’t bad enough to slow me too much and now I’m looking forward to the race tomorrow and having more fun."
