Garrett Gerloff: P9 \u2013 1\u201932.349
<\/strong>\u201cThe morning started pretty well, we made some changes and they worked out nicely. Unfortunately, I struggled a little bit more in the afternoon, we\u2019ll 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\u2019s going to rain, so we should be careful with the track conditions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kohta Nozane: P16 \u2013 1\u201933.366
<\/strong>\u201cI 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\u2019s still margin to improve and we\u2019re looking for it, but overall it\u2019s 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\u2019re ready whatever the condition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
