Closed the Qualifying session 0.7 seconds off the pace, Lowes will continue to work tomorrow morning with the team looking for a good race pace which will allow him recovery positions during the 29 laps of the race.

SAM LOWES (10th – 1’24”976)
“It was not easy today. Yesterday we could have done some more track time, but it must be said that this circuit is not so good for my riding style, so we just have to keep working in order to try to find a good rhythm for the race, because we know that we can improve tomorrow. Hopefully we can make a good Warm Up in the morning and then going good for the race. I think we can maintain a consistent pace, we just need to improve front feeling and rear grip a little bit”.

FAUSTO GRESINI
“So far we have experienced a difficult weekend: we are struggling, so tomorrow morning in the Warm Up we will try other changes to the bike set-up in an effort to improve. However, it’s clear that we expect an uphill race: however, we will give our maximum to try to lose less ground as possible towards our opponents for the title”.
