"It was a good season. I was consistent and avoided any injury, in contrast to other recent seasons which I was unable to finish," Desalle said.
"One GP win; for sure I would have liked more but that‰Ûªs not easy with Herlings and Cairoli around, but I won‰Ûªt give up and will continue to work hard with the team and the new bike to bring Kawasaki even more success. I‰Ûªm sure the new bike will have great potential, and I‰Ûªm really happy to work with this team; it‰Ûªs important for me to be happy doing what I do, and with the KRT boys we‰Ûªve a great relationship from the mechanics to the boss and the manager.
"I‰Ûªm happy with the season; nine podiums, no injuries and a medal placing in the final standings are a good result and I‰Ûªm sure we can do even better as we know each other really well. I have a great feeling on the bike and every year we make little adjustments to be even better so I‰Ûªm confident for the future. This weekend was different than the other races; I wanted the series podium so much that I rode safe and to end the season with a podium is great."
