The Indonesian rider, who was 28th at the chequered flag, showed a good progression that allowed him to better of more than second his best lap-time from yesterday and log a 2’08.451 before Saturday’s action drew to a close.
The 19-lap, penultimate race of the 2017 season will get underway at 12:20 local time (GMT +8), with Dimas hoping for wet conditions.
28th – DIMAS EKKY PRATAMA
“We improved bit by bit with the setting and the lap-time, but we still need one or two seconds to be competitive. The set-up has improved and we’re happy, but with a bit more time to understand the bike we would have been much further up. Obviously I will fight under every condition, but if it rains things would be better because we were really competitive during FP2.”
