Garrett Gerloff: P9 – 1’32.349
“The morning started pretty well, we made some changes and they worked out nicely. Unfortunately, I struggled a little bit more in the afternoon, we’ll try to understand why and do whatever we need to be quicker tomorrow. Of course, we have to consider the weather - it looks like it’s going to rain, so we should be careful with the track conditions.”

Kohta Nozane: P16 – 1’33.366
“I like the track a lot more compared to last year. From morning to afternoon we improved, and I had a good feeling on the bike. There’s still margin to improve and we’re looking for it, but overall it’s not so bad; a good starting point. The goal is to make steps forward tomorrow, but we need to keep an eye on the weather. Anyway we’re ready whatever the condition.”
