We did a lot of work today on the machine set-up and tyre choice because the weather forecast says we might lose some dry practice time tomorrow. The RC212V feels quite good here and not really too different to the 990cc machine from last year – you notice the power is lower, but not too much, and the lap times are already pretty close. The practice sessions went reasonably well and I made a fair improvement from the morning to the afternoon. However, I made some mistakes in the afternoon session which lost me some time and so my final lap times were not as fast as they should have been really. We’ll continue to make adjustments to the bike tonight and come ready for whatever the weather gives us for tomorrow’s sessions.
