“I´m quite satisfied with today sessions. We suffered some problems in the morning - bike had been very bumpy when leaving corners. Now after changing the set up the bike is more balanced, but we still have problem with grip on rear tyre. We finished on twelfth place, but the compared to the lap times of other riders it doesn´t seem bad. We lose only some thousandth to Hector Barbera and only one tenth of second to Nicky Hayden on factory bike.”

“We started in the morning with different mentality compared to the last race at Sepang. Karel like this track, and this would help us. We were immediately fast, the main problem is grip on the rear tyre. We just need to set up everything for race and improve the bike to get better acceleration. We made huge progress with tyres. We used only one set of tyres for 24 laps and from this point of view we are prepared to the race. Compared to other riders on prototypes we made good lap times. We are losing only 0,7 second to the Top Ten.”
