“Today was a really good day. We managed to test a lot of parts from KTM and it was a very productive day again. The circuit record is a bonus and also I feel really comfortable as well, so we are very happy with the progress we are making. It just shows that we are getting quicker and quicker, step by step. It’s too early to say it if we will improve that lap time tomorrow or not. We also have a limited number of tyres, so it’s going to be difficult. If we have another nice day with weather like this, then I think we will have a good chance.”

“Today was a really good day for our team. I think we did very good job today, we put in a lot of laps and tried a lot of setups. We are getting closer to the best setup for the bike, and for a large part of the day I was on used tyres, so we were not very fast then. However, when we put the new rubber on we were much better and our time was very close to Jack’s, so I’m very happy. I rode my fast lap alone –so I’m even more pleased with that. The team found a very good setup for me so that I was not struggling with the rear like in the morning, and the feeling was completely different on fresh tyres. Slow cornering had been a problem for me previously, but that’s where I improved for this fast time. It was a perfect day, all in all, so thanks to my mechanics for their help.”
