Ratthapark Wilairot reached his objective of lapping inside the top fifteen on the opening night of the 2013 Moto2 World Championship in Qatar tonight, the Thai rider finishing eleventh fastest after the first two free practice sessions. 'Feem' showed that his preseason form has provided the confidence and motivation that was missing last season and he is determined to use this as the platform to further progress tomorrow.
Ratthapark Wilairot (11th 2’02.323 ) “I am happy for myself and for the team because we have worked hard and started the weekend in positive fashion. I feel much better compared to last season and I am sure that we can have a good season. We couldn't have started much better than this.”
Fausto Gresini “I am happy for 'Feem' because he has come here determined to do well and he's made a good start. He's found a good feeling together with the guys in the team and finally he is showing his true potential after last year's difficulties. Now he has to work to build on this result.”
