Karel Abraham
"It was quit good today. We had only one problem with low adhesion of rear of motorbike. The motorcycle was very slippery on the track, but mechanics are working on this right now and tomorrow it would be fine. My hand got swollen again and it’s painful at the moment. It is because of very hot weather. I’m going to put some ice on my hand and I hope it will be good for tomorrow. After today’s free practice I have good feeling and I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s qualification."

"I’m very satisfied with today’s work. We have to solve the problem with rear traction until tomorrow. But the most important is that we were able to follow team Power Electronic Aspar that is essential for us now. Karel is still not hundred percent ok, but I see it as big move ahead compared to the race in Mugello. Today we used hard tyres, so for tomorrow we have enough amounts of soft ones. I suppose that we’ll be faster tomorrow and that we’ll achieved good result."
