Fifth again! Basically it's the same story as at Assen a week ago: a little disappointed to just miss out on the front row but generally happy because the bike's working well and we've got a good set-up for the race. Hopefully we can get a good start and see how it goes. Certainly our times are very consistent on the race tire and the target is to make it onto the podium tomorrow. |
Muggeridge and I clashed - I got a good start and he got a bad start and we both drifted over to the right to get a better line for the first corner, ... The bikes were wheelieing and then I felt him touch the back of my bike and then it felt like something touched my brake lever. |
The bike's working well and we're able to put in good consistent lap times. My final position should've been higher but I lost some time when I came across another rider. Nothing is decided until superpole but it will be important to get a good position as this is a difficult circuit to overtake on. |
