After winning the race, Brad Baker said, “It’s been an incredible moment, I’ve been so many days in Barcelona that I feel this City to be like my second place! I get along so well with everyone here, it’s fantastic.  It’s been a crazy year for me, one year ago I was in the hospital with a broken shoulder, and now here I’m with a new victory! The SuperFinal has been brutal! Mentally it has been very demanding; I did look back only once. Every time I heard the crowd louder I knew Marc was coming closer!  I want to thank RPM Racing for all their support and help throughout these days!”

Marc Marquez, the first runner-up, said, “Thanks to the organisers for putting such a great event together, every year is getting bigger.  I wasn’t my best start, I regain some space at the beginning, but it wasn’t an easy task to overtake Brad! All in all is a great race, and it’s fantastic to be in the podium with these two amazing riders, looking forward to come back next year!” Marquez was also the defending champion of 2015 MotoGP and was involved in a controversy with Valentino Rossi during the second last race of the season.
