Roger Lee Hayden :"The first session started out very well and we got up quickly to a decent pace. Knowing the track definitively helped me to reach a good results. We made some improvements for the afternoon and I was able to improve my best lap time. The team and me are trying to figure how we can find some more speed for tomorrow and all my technicians have done a great job for me so far. Hopefully tomorrow I can remain in Superpole spot. It would be a great birthday present as tomorrow is my birthday".
Matteo Baiocco : “It was quite a good day, but I think we have a lot of improvements to make. This morning I spent my free practice learning the track. This track is not so easy to learn and it's my very first time riding here. I improved a lot in the afternoon qualifying session compare with this morning and I'm sure we can make another significant step tomorrow. Of course I’m not satisfied with my twenty first position but I am confident for tomorrow second qualifying day”.
