Three of the main protagonists from Thursday's thriller have been giving their thoughts ahead of today's Supersport race.

Alastair Seeley (1st): "I can't be too disheartened, it's still a podium. It was an awesome race to involved in and this will be another spectacle. I hope the bike feels better and we can push on. The bike has potential."

Michael Dunlop (4th): "It should be alright, the weather is decent and we'll just see what way the wind is going. It was a good race and we'll just try and do it better this time. We have made a few changes and hopefully they will work. We'll see what the day brings."

Davey Todd (6th): "The whole race was awesome. It was mega crossing the line first but the whole race was mega. I hope it's the same again and hopefully it ends up with the same result. I'm looking forward to it."
