"It was an exciting race," said Davies. "I made a very good start and thought I could battle for the victory, but later on I felt the foot slipping, and realized it was an oil spill. I was expecting to high side any moment, but after a couple of laps I figured out it was only a wire drawing and felt comfortable again, although it was hard to push on the slippery footpeg in the right-hand corners. Rea gave me a hard time, but I managed to pass him."

Davies' recent run of form gives the former AMA rider high hopes for the next round in the UK. "This a very important result for me as it comes before my home race at Silverstone, where hopefully many of my fans will turn up".
