Luis Salom

“Today we were able to take advantage of the good weather and have been riding very fast. In the end we were just three tenths off the top time. We are very happy, because in the end there are no big differences between us and, on the fastest lap I clocked, I know I lost a bit of time on a couple of corners. As I said in Valencia, it is the first time that we are really testing, and I am very happy. In addition, the team is working very well and I am adapting well to their workrate.”

Arthur Sissis

“Yesterday we went well in the wet and, although today we did not do too many laps, we improved on the final runs, which is important. The forecast for tomorrow is rain, so it seems that today was the only dry day for this test, but I’m feeling good in the wet and yesterday we found a good setup for those conditions.”

Zulfahmi Khairuddin

“Today we felt really good. The weather was perfect and we were able to do more testing with the new bike. We hope that tomorrow the conditions are like today. I can’t wait to continue testing, and I think that the team and KTM are doing a good job.”
