1st 1'55.976
“Today was good because we were able to keep a good pace especially in FP2 on hard tires. We did a good job there and then also in the final part of the session when we fit a soft rear. That was important because we normally struggle with the soft tire while today we had a good feeling and good speed. That said, we’ll keep our feet on the ground because not every rider put the soft tire on today and we need to repeat the performance tomorrow in qualifying. Regarding the final tire choice for the race I think we’ll need to make more tests tomorrow."
