Marco Grana, Cardion AB Motoracing
"We are quite satisfied with today. The rider is still getting used to ride the bike, he haven´t been racing for six years and it must occur somewhere. We had the opportunity to test the bike settings on dry track in the morning and also on wet in the afternoon practice. It is very good, because we really need to get much needed data. From this point of view we don´t care what is the weather like tomorrow. On the wet we had firstly tried Abaja´s setting but afterwards we had to completely change it. The lap times weren´t that much important for us today. Our closest goal is to set up the bike in the best way for tomorrow and I believe we will be faster."
