Karel Abraham
"I´m not completely unsatisfied, but I hope to get more to the front. I hoped to beat 1:36, but it didn´t succeed. We tried softer tyre on the front to the QP1, but it didn´t work and I had to get back to the garage to change it. We lost few minutes and even If I tried to catch Andrea Iannone in the end of qualifying session, I didn´t make it. It´s not bad result however. The shoulder still hurts, but I hope I can make the race. If it hurts tomorrow, I will consider to get some local anesthetics though I really don´t like to use it."
Marco Grana, chief-mechanic Cardion AB Motoracing
"18th position isn’t what we hope for, but still not bad considering our Karel´s physical condition after a month of recovery. We made 1:36,2 which is our best time of the weekend. We were able to improve our lap times practice to practice and I´m sure that we are ready for tomorrow. We haven´t any serious problem with the bike and I hope Karel will be able to make whole race without limitation. We must make good start, than we can grab some points."
