Karel Abraham
„The track in the morning was unfortunatelly half dry and half wet. We did not get the chance to try something with bike setting. If we are talking about the afternoon, we are almost satisfied. In the very last lap, which was supposed to be the fastest one, I had the highsider on the front and I was very lucky not to crash. I lost free or maybe four tenths, which we needed to catch Hayden or Rea. On the other hand I feel good with this result because the crash could have had bad massive impact.“

„The weather were again very tricky today. In the morning was the track again half and half. The qualification was in fact the first session under the dry conditions and we started from the begining. In the first part of the practice we were trying to understand the problem with the front setting of the bike. The rider complained about the instability in the fast corners. We solved it hopefully but unfortunatelly we made a mistake in the last fastest lap and lost a few tenths. We are happy until now and we are ready to fight with the top rider tomorrow.“
