“We tried all sorts of setups today and drew some important conclusions. We have found the way forward to feeling comfortable on the opening day. I crashed at the end of the second session and hurt my injured foot a little, but I was able to finish the session and improve my best time on the only lap that I was able to complete afterwards. I hope to keep improving tomorrow and work as well as always.”

“Today didn’t go badly. I felt good on the bike and this is very important. I have a problem in the opening sector, as I am slow there and am losing a lot of time. However, in the rest of the circuit I think I’m doing well. If I can manage to go faster in the first sector and improve a little elsewhere, then it will be a big step forward. I will watch the video of the practice sessions later and try to move into the top ten tomorrow.”

“Today went well. In the morning we used the same setup as at the last race and had a good feeling, as I put in my fastest lap when riding alone. I focused on my riding and didn’t have any problems. In the second session we improved our pace, but not enough to be amongst the top ten. Even though the final placing isn’t great, I am happy. The key now is that I feel comfortable on the bike.”
