| ALEX CRIVILLÉ – 4th –
2’02.256 - "We’ve come back from the summer break and
straight away, we’re back in the groove of things so that’s good
news. I’m happy and I feel confident for this race. I enjoyed the bike
today, I had fun riding it, and that’s the main thing. This afternoon,
we worked towards the race and we intend to continue along those lines
tomorrow. For sure, I want to be in a position where I can fight for the
win on Sunday. I like this track and I’ve already won here in the past
so I’m looking to do so again this year. We spent the whole of this
afternoon’s session fighting for the pole and that feels great". |
| SETE GIBERNAU – 7th –
2’02.915 - "We had a couple of days of testing at Mugello
during the summer break and that did us a lot of good. We picked up a
lot of information at those tests. This season has been really difficult
for us because it’s been so hard to find a set-up with which I could
feel comfortable and all the rain we had certainly didn’t help. At the
Mugello tests we started to work towards what we think should be a good
set-up. We’ve been trying different geometry settings and today I felt
much better and much more comfortable on the bike. Now, we just have
some small changes to make for tomorrow". |
| TADY OKADA – 15th –
2’04.022 - "I crashed twice at the Suzuka Eight hours and
although I didn’t really hurt myself much, I have a badly stretched
ligament in my left ankle. That means the bike is hard to ride for me.
It’s not really painful, but it’s hard to move around and change
direction. The injury meant I had to miss the Mugello test and judging
by the way my two team-mates are riding today, that is a bad thing.
They’ve obviously benefited from riding during the summer break. I
tried a more powerful engine today and it didn’t seem to be working
well for me. It was a little too powerful so for tomorrow, we’ll
probably go back to the standard engine". |
