"During QP we couldn't find the setup we needed to start in the first three rows, which was our objective. Tomorrow will be tough, but the team and I will try to improve during WUP and I'm sure we'll find a direction and we'll be stronger during the race."

"We finally made a step forward, understanding how to set up the bike. The team is working hard and my race pace isn't bad. I hope to make further progress during WUP and come back during the race."
Roberto Locatelli (FMI Technical Coordinator)
"We worked especially on race pace, but couldn't move forward on lap times. Romano had some setup issues but we have clarified the plan for tomorrow, while Pecco finally is more comfortable on the bike. The race can give him confidence after a rough start to his season."
