Colin Edwards and the NGM Mobile Forward Racing Team do not shine as they would have wanted to during the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix ´s qualifying session after the great performance throughout all free practices.
The American rider has proven to have a constant fast lap time to be able to fight with the top CRTs. The warm up tomorrow morning will be key in order to solve the chatter problems that have complicated the Texan’s afternoon.
Colin Edwards – 18th (2´04.941)
“We had so much chatter when we came here to test compared to now. We changed the gearing at the beginning of the session because this morning it felt too short and bike was too busy, so we went a little bit longer and lengthen the swingarm a little bit and created a lot more chatter. We went for a soft front, still had strong chatter, I was having to ride the bike differently, couldn’t carry the lean angle. We have a couple of ideas to work on during the warm up, let see how it goes.”
Sergio Verbena – Crew Chief
“We had higher expectations for today’s qualifying session but chatter problems have limited our performance during the afternoon. The race pace is good but during qualifying we miss those three or four tenths on the fast lap in order to be closer to the front of the grid. Tomorrow morning we will work on reducing the chatter in order to be ready for the race.”
