The practices were OK. I’ve tried to get a good pace quickly to be able to focus only on riding, because this afternoon we used a bit stronger pain-killers than yesterday. It’s been good because they really stopped the pain. I pushed from the beginning and was able to improve my laptime. Then we made some adjustments to the bike and the times were even better. We had not much time left towards the end because I stopped a bit late. We put on a softer compound and I was only able to do one more lap. I had a problem with Simoncelli in that lap. I passed him and then he passed me back and then I went off the track. But, well, the result is positive because I’m still a bit bruised after the crash in Jerez. Let’s hope that I’ll be able to stand the race well tomorrow. My aim is actually to finish it.
