Well, the weather forecasts were wrong and the rain never came so we were lucky to have two dry sessions in which to work on machine settings and tyres choice. This allowed us to test all the tyre options from Michelin and we’ve improved the bike set-up here and have a pretty good idea of which tyres we’ll use in the race – so let’s hope it stays dry tomorrow too. I struggled a little bit on my qualifying runs and braked too deep at the end of the straight on both laps which cost me a better time. However Rossi did a very fast time today and there are several riders with a good pace on race tyres. A front row position would have been nice but I’ll look to get a good start tomorrow and hopefully we can have a good race – it looks like it could be close.
