Nicky Hayden, 1’23.351 secs. 67 laps 246km

This morning things were definitely going a bit better and I was able to go quite a bit faster with some decent consistency. We needed that session after losing a lot of time yesterday. This afternoon we made some more setting changes but it actually made us go backwards a little bit and I couldn`t get into a good rhythm. And then I had problems on both my qualifying runs. On the first qualifying tyre I had a decent lap going but in the last corner Checa actually ran across the track in front of me and I had to abort the lap. Hes a brave man. He`d crashed and to be honest I`d have probably done the same to get back to the pits in qualifying, but I`d probably look first. The first two splits of my second lap were pretty good but then in Turn 10 I made a big mistake which ruined that lap, so my best time this afternoon was on a race tyre. It`s definitely not the grid position we need. Tonight we`ll look to make some changes to the machine and see what happens tomorrow. A good start`s going to be essential.
