Joan Mir – 18º: “I crashed with my second tyre in the ‘qualifying’ of today which certainly limited how competitive we were. Tonight, we need to check what happened and compare the second tyre, I was feeling strong with the first tyre and make a pretty good lap. The performance of the bike improved over the course of the day but we still have a bit of work to do with the rear grip. There’s margin to improve and I think we can make quite an interesting Qualifying tomorrow. It will be important to see how the temperature and grip changes from today to tomorrow.”
Luca Marini – 16º: “Overall we have been able to have a productive day and understand the situation of our weekend, good to start building the base. With the soft tyre the grip is unbelievable, especially in the first lap, where I have felt the track conditions a bit strange. I think it will keep improving as the weekend goes on. The performance of Zarco and also Taka are very encouraging for us, it shows that there is speed and potential in our package and we just need to keep working to unlock it all.”
