Roger Lee Hayden :"This morning I worked only to learn this nice but difficult track. During afternoon qualifying session we worked out a couple of changes for tomorrow to help around the circuit, which should make me quicker. I'm looking forward to being stronger on the circuit and faster as a result. We tried some tyres today and found a good race pace. I'll try my best to enter Superpole and with the changes for tomorrow we should be in for big improvements."
Matteo Baiocco : “Today it was a hard qualifying session and I couldn’t get into the right rhythm to get a race pace. The bike has felt similar to how it did during my last races in Assen and Monza, but here in Kyalami I still didn’t have the right feeling with my Kawasaki. We will check everything this evening to make the right adjustments on the bike. Tomorrow we need to try a different setting to improve on times and results. We’ll see on tomorrow’s qualifying second session, but I’m sure that to enter the Superpole I need to go faster than I have today”.
