"Doctors must give me stronger anesthetics than yesterday. I don´t feel pain so much but the hand is less sensitive and I haven´t enough power to handle. Moreover I was able to ride only three fast laps together, than I must let the hand rest. It´s naturally unthinkable to do this in race, so the key aspect is if I will be able to ride fast so long time."
Marco Grana, Cardion AB Motoracing chief mechanic
"We are in the same situation as yesterday. We tried to do the best lap we can, but the key problem is physical condition of rider. We improved the bike and eliminated sliding on the rear. Karel has better feeling on the bike and I hope we do everything to be prepared for tomorrow. After warm up we will make the final decision."
