I'm quite happy after this test, especially after this afternoon,

because I think we've worked hard in these last few days and also in the first part of today. This afternoon we put it all together and I was able to do a very good lap for second position and I also had a good rhythm, with a good pace. But, we are all still very close in the timesheets, there are a lot of riders that are strong. We continue to suffer with the tyres, front and rear, and I did just half a race distance. We have to try to understand what will happen from that point until the end of the race - we will see in two weeks. 

P2 1'54.276 +0.247

The position is not so fantastic at the end,because during the time attack I had some problems with the front tyre, so I couldn't do it. In the end, I'm quite a bit behind, but the pace is not so bad on average. We worked a lot today and tried to understand, because we had some issues, especially with the front tyre. After a few laps I started to lose some grip. It looks like, in these conditions, it will be difficult to finish the race with a good pace, so we still need to work tomorrow and try to improve this.

Day2 P11 1'55.316 +0.730

It was not so bad, the first day was quite good.We are always very close to the other riders and in the end I'm in seventh position. It's not fantastic, but at this track I feel better. Right from the first moment, I felt better compared to how I felt in Thailand. I think I was quite competitive in Sepang, we had some more problems in Thailand, and here in Qatar the situation is more similar to Sepang, fortunately. It looks like also this year things can change quite a lot from one track to another, because it depends a lot on how you can make the tyres work for you. Sometimes you have to suffer, other times you'll be stronger.

Day1 P7 1'55.432 +0.379
