During the qualification session at the Motegi Twinring circuit in Japan, the RW Racing GP riders couldn’t show their capabilities. Luis Salom was held up in his last fast lap but still improved his lap time and will start tomorrows race from 6th position. Brad Binder did a good job and was continues in the top 10. Finally Binder will start the race from P18 with only 1,6 seconds difference from the pole position time.
Luis Salom (6th): “I’m not happy with what happened in the last lap. This could bring me on the front row but another rider held me up in the last section. It cost me at least half a second. But okay, tomorrow is the race and the second row is good enough to fight for the podium positions in the race. The bike feels good and still we can make some improvements on the bike for tomorrows race.”
Brad Binder (18th): “With this position I’m not satisfied. I was constantly in the top 10 but couldn’t put my ideal sections in one lap so I finished 18th. Mostly I was riding alone and I was able to run top 10 times. In the final minutes of the session I missed a good slipstream and dropped back to 18th. It’s only 1,6 seconds of the fastest time and with my race pace I should be able to fight for the points and maybe even better.”
