Indianapolis GP: Quotes after 125cc QP1

11th Gábor Talmacsi: 2.01.238 (4 laps)
“The Aprilia was working perfectly and my feeling was as good as it could be, but perhaps because I was trying to go too fast too soon I had this accident. I didn’t feel as though I was on the edge but it was a silly crash. The consequences have proved to be much more serious than I thought but I’m not ready to throw the towel in yet. I’ll see how it develops this evening and overnight before having some checks, an injection and a special support fitted in the morning. I can’t say anything else other than that I intend to try and race at all cost.”

20th Sergio Gadea: 2.03.571 (12 laps)
“It’s a strange circuit – I think it would be great fun in the dry but it looks like it’s going to stay wet all weekend. There are a lot of puddles and because of the oval all the water collects on our circuit. We had a few set-up problems this morning but in the afternoon we found some solutions and with an hour-long session tomorrow we can find some more. I feel comfortable but I’m not on the limit yet.”

26th Patrick Jacobsen: 2.04.545 (13 laps)
“This circuit is quite different to anywhere else I’ve ridden. The level of the riders in the World Championship is obviously very high. The weather is crazy but we’re all in the same boat. I’m satisfied with the result for the first day, taking into account that it is my first day in the World Championship and the only way is up. I need to get some more laps under my belt, get a better feel for the bike and slowly the results will start to come.”
