Karel Abraham
“After first day I must say that I´m quite happy. We are getting back to the time before my injury. We have good set up with only few problems. We compared our data to Nicky´s bike and we know where we are losing and theoretically how to improve it. The quest is to do it tomorrow on the track. I must say that everybody were riding very hard even if it is „only“ Friday. I´m looking forward to Saturday.”
Marco Grana, Cardion AB Motoracing chief mechanic
“In first morning session we tried to get back to set up of the bike, which we had used before Aragon crash. The track was wet and we had problems in exiting corners. Karel´s feeling on the bike wasn´t good. In the afternoon the temperature went up and we could use hard tyres. It was much better and after the second session, we are satisfied. It´s important, that everything is under control and we are on the way to get back to group. Our target is get back to situation before Aragon crash.”
