“It’s been a few races since I started a Grand Prix weekend in such a positive way. Today things went in the right direction from the start and the gap of just 0.7 seconds to Valentino Rossi on a such a long track gives us some hope for the rest of the weekend. The bike responds well and I am hopeful that tomorrow we’ll be able to get a good position on the grid, when we make some small changes on the bike.”
