“We were expecting more today. We have found various solutions that helped us, but nothing that made us climb the classification. Mika doesn’t have the same feeling as in the previous races. Niccolò knows well the tracks and this probably gives him more trust to push to the maximum. As I always said he has a great talent and he will demonstrate it really soon.”

“We got closer to the fastest riders, even if I am sure I could have done better today. In my fastest lap I was slowed down by another rider otherwise I could have easily enter the top ten. But the most important thing is the rhythm I maintained all afternoon: if I make it to keep the same level tomorrow in the race we can have a lot of fun.”

“Nothing has changed compared to yesterday, we have improved many things without finding a valid solution. It has been really hard for me, the bike doesn’t follow the lines I want and this makes every turn really difficult. It is a really hard weekend for us, maybe the most complicated of the season so far.”
