“I can´t be satisfied, because I know that I could be better. Specially in the last lap I was able to reach lap time of 8th rider. This could be realistic result, so I can´t be happy of 11th position. Good news is, that I´m reaching constant lap times. Bike is set well, I had only one problem with vibrating front when the track got dry. Unfortunately we didn´t have enough time to stop in garage and try to change the settings.”
Marco Grana, chief mechanic Cardion AB Motoracing
“Today was bad and good. Good because we are able to go fast like riders around 6th position. Bad because we didn´t completed really fast lap and we´re eleventh instead about eight. The bike is quite OK we needed just to set up the electronic, because QP was first dry session in the weekend. We´re happy, that we did lot of laps in good time, and it´s a good start for tomorrow race. It seems, that it will be raining whole day, but we are ready, because today morning we improved the settings of the bike.”
