After a good pace on the second day at Laguna Seca, Bautista couldn't get the same result on the race. Bautista felt that they made wrong decision with tyre.
Alvaro Bautista ( 8th )
"I'm not sure why but today the bike felt really unstable on the front. Maybe we made the wrong decision by going with the soft tyre. I tried to push it at the start but I couldn't brake hard and I was really struggling in corner entry. It's strange because we had good race pace with this tyre yesterday but today it didn't work. It hasn't been a good weekend for us. Despite the positive signs yesterday it proved to be a difficult race today."
Fausto Gresini
"After the crash in warm-up this morning it was important for Alvaro to finish the race here because it wasn't an easy situation for him. We have been suffering in the last few races and we need to help him find more confidence in the front of the bike. It is important we stay calm and work hard to achieve this because there is still a long way to go in this championship. Of course the crash this morning didn't help because yesterday it looked like we had the pace to have a good race."
