Malaysian, patient who is now eight in championship standing, treatment rode the dry Ricardo Tormo circuit with a time of 1.42,698, which gave him 17th position from the qualifying.
All the three Moto3 free practice sessions were held with wet tyres so therefore the qualifying wasn´t that easy.
“Difficult qualifying and we need to work with dry settings. We have to make changes especially for the front part of the bike. Let´s just hope that the circumstances on the race day will be similar as now in the qualifying and we can test how the new settings work on dry track on Sunday´s warm up session”, Khairuddin says.
Khairuddin has gained during this season his first ever pole position and podium, therefore the starting place is far from his best ones but team leader Aki Ajo trusts in Khairuddin´s possibilities.
