“I am indeed happy with my current position but my aim is to take home my sixth SuperSports 600cc title. It is too early for any celebration as right now, I am not in a very comfortable position because the title is still wide open and Fuad may have the potential to spoil my plan. In order for me to take home the coveted crown, I need to stay ahead of him in both races,” said the 38-year old who has taken five chequered flag this season.
訳：“今のポジションに付けた事は本当にとてもうれしく思っていますが、私の目指すところは６度目のタイトルを取ることです。今はまだ、喜ぶには早すぎます。まだ安心できるポジションではありません。今後のレースでファドに対して油断も許させません。優勝するためには２ヒートともファドより前にいなければなりません。”っと、今シーズン５回のチェッカーフラッグをとった 38歳、浜口俊之が言いました。
As for Fuad, things did not turn out on the bright side for him in the previous round.

He did not collect points in Race 1 as he crashed at Turn 3 in Lap 10 and could not resume the race. In Race 2, he has to use an entire new engine and managed to finish fifth with 11 points. |

| The PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha Malaysia rider who has dropped a rank lower to second placing with 137 points, hopes he will be able to turn the table around to win his first ever SuperSports 600cc overall title. “For the final leg, we will be racing under cold weather condition and we will be competing on equal ground. It will be a fair play as we can’t use the same setting in the previous round and have to change the machine setting for the cold weather,” said Fuad who finished third overall last season. | ||
| “Therefore, with a 4-point different between both of us, I believe I still can beat Hamaguchi. No doubt, he is in high form but I am not willingly to settle for second best without giving a fight for the title chase. For sure Hamaguchi will push very hard but I am physically and mentally prepared for it,” said Fuad. |
訳（一部省略）：ファドは “最終戦では、寒い気候環境の下でのレースになるでしょう。前回のマシンと同じ設定ではいけない、環境に合わせたセッティングに変えなければならない。 浜口と私との差はは4ポイントで、私はまだ浜口を抜く事が出来ると思っています。確かに、彼は非常に強敵ですが、戦う準備はできています。”っとファドは言いました。
