Karel Abraham Disappointed with the Bike Setup

Karel Abraham Catalunya 2012

A hot afternoon brought a very balanced qualification, when Karel Abraham was helding long  in a group of Ducati riders. Karel Abraham will start from the fourth row on the Catalunya race.

Karel Abraham said,  “I am quite disappointed from the overall setting of the bike. Especially the adhesion of the rear tyre is very bad. The loss we have on breaks is connected with the problems we have on complex bike setting. The weather forecast for tomorrow is uncertain. It should be much colder, hopefully not rainy. We will see what we´ll be able to change and improve during the warm up. I hope for the happy end and for scoring some points it the race.”  

Marco Grana, the chief mechanic added, "I cannot say that im happy about today´s result, but on the other hand we are not skeptic for tomorrow. The time from the qualification is much better than in the third free practice, but unfortunatelly it is not sufficient yet. There is still considerable space between us and the riders on prototypes. We slightly improved the bike setting, but we are not satisfied with the adhesion of the rear soft tyre. We are also losing on breaks. ¨The goal for the warm up is clear. We must solve all our problems in settings and bring the bike in the best possible setting to tomorrow´s race.“
