Rico Penzkofer, Team Principal, GER:

"Of course we are still a bit shocked after the NorthWest200, but the many many expressions of condolences we reach via Facebook, Twitter, text messages, emails and everywhere else gave us strength. We are going to tackle the TT in the spirit of Simon – that would have been the race he worked for day by day since last September and what he was looking forward to the most."

"We'll see if Jimmy can chip away at the Top Ten. I think he might be able to surprise some people this year. Dan only has one target: going out there, having fun and learn the Mountain Course."
