Despite the storm last night and the consequent change of conditions of the track in Brno, Colin Edwards improves this weekend´s personal best at Brno and make it to the fifth row for the 12th race of the season in the MotoGP championship.
Four seconds away from the Jorge Lorenzo´s pole record, the NGM Mobile Forward Racing rider is able to complete a lap under 2 minutes and will try on getting closer to the three CRTs that he has infront of him. The warm up´s focus will be to eliminate the chatter problems that he has encountered during free practices and qualifying sessions.
Colin Edwards – 15th (1´59.863)
“This morning the track conditions were a lot cooler and when we went out this morning we had chatter on top of chatter and could not push what so ever. We went back to the setting from Qatar and went faster right away. This weekend we just had so much trouble with traction control this weekend; I don’t know when its working, when its going to start working. I have no idea how much I can push; if I push too much I’ve got chatter, if I get on the throttle too early it flicks me out of the seat. We need to maybe pull out something in the warm up tomorrow. Being 2 seconds away from the best CRT and we need to close that gap.”
Sergio Verbena – Crew Chief
“After last night’s rain the track conditions have changed and have complicated things for us: today we had many chattering problems and this has compromised our performance. In the end we managed to leave some CRTs behind us but to be with the top CRTs we still need to be 1,5 seconds faster and eliminate the chatter problem for tomorrow’s race.”
