Q2 was extremely difficult today, with so many very fast riders. We gave it our best shot, and my hand didn\u2019t bother me at all, which is perhaps the best news of all. Tomorrow will depend a lot on the pace we can produce in the race. There are at least a couple of riders who have a better pace than us, but we\u2019ll give it a go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>SERGIO GARCIA #3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t the Saturday we expected after comfortably making it through to Q2 yesterday. The feeling wasn\u2019t the best, and I wasn\u2019t able to perform as I would have liked in a session that was already difficult in itself, such as Q2. We need to work on things. 16th on the grid isn\u2019t ideal, but it\u2019s not that bad either.
