Qualifying Classification

4th, 2’07.815, 30 laps, 162 km

"In free practice today I managed to set a 2’07 lap"
 

"The positive thing today was that I found things much better from the first lap in the morning, thanks to some new settings that we tried on the bike. Yesterday it was hard to get under 2’10 and in free practice today, I managed to set a 2’07 lap. I managed set a good pace which I was able to maintain it in the afternoon, even though the track conditions were worse. In the qualifying we did a good lap, but I got caught up in traffic and I had to drop off, so I lost the slipstream I had for the straight and I couldn’t corner the way I wanted. All this made me lose more than two tenths. I hope to get pole at the next round, but for now the important thing is that we have very good pace for tomorrow's race."

3rd, 2’07.700, 30 laps, 162 km

"I made an almost perfect lap, but it was a pity that in the last sector I found a lot of traffic"
 

"It was a complicated QP. At this circuit we all know that the slipstreaming is very important, but there was a lot of traffic on track. We came out with a new tyre, though not with the qualities that I like, but then eventually I got comfortable. After the pit stop I had a scare, so I focused on finding my own pace rather than the fast lap. In the last run I made an almost perfect lap, but it was a pity that in the last sector I found a lot of traffic. Riders were waiting for a tow and on the last three corners I was continuously dodging people. Still, I'm very happy because we’ve had a very good weekend, improving in each session. Above all we have good pace for the race. I’m sure it will be hard, in the heat and in a group. However, I think we're ready and I hope to make a good race."
