ALONSO LOPEZ #21<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy, we\u2019re getting closer and closer to the front riders: this afternoon I wasn\u2019t able to put together a perfect lap, but starting from the second row for tomorrow\u2019s race is great and will allow us to have some fun. The goal will be to take another step forward compared to the French GP and fight for the positions that matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

SERGIO GARCIA #3<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cToday was a positive day. This morning we worked on race pace, while this afternoon we gave everything in qualifying: on my first run I set a good lap that would have allowed me to move into Q2, but I touched the green, so the lap was cancelled. We tried again, but there was a yellow flag, and on the final lap I lost a bit of time in sector four. Tomorrow I\u2019ll start from 20th position, ready to give it everything and fight my way back through the field \u2014 I want to have a good race.\u201d<\/p>\n
