Team Federal Oil rider Gino Rea was able to make minor improvements on the second day of the Spanish Grand Prix, qualifying in 23rd place. The Brit has yet to gain full confidence with his Moriwaki machine but is hopeful that he can continue building in tomorrow's race.

“It doesn't help us that we've had three wet sessions here this weekend because we haven't had the opportunity to improve the bike as much as we would like. We were making some progress this afternoon but I was having to push very hard to improve the lap time then I made a small mistake in turn two and crashed. I could have gone a little faster but I still feel we're a long way from where we should be. It's tough because the other riders have data from the test that they can fall back on but we don't because our bike is totally new. Hopefully we'll have a dry warm-up so we can try to improve the bike but for the race it's a case of getting the best possible result whatever the weather.”

“We still haven't found the right way with this bike but at least we have made some small improvements. Clearly it isn't enough for Gino to ride to his limit yet but we're working on it.”
