This track is very technical, unfortunately I have not been able to have a reference, it was not possible to follow any rider and here this is important”.

“I’m very happy: I really enjoyed this session; I like the track and I felt good on the bike too. We were fast, we did a great job between the FP1 and the FP2 even if, compared to the other Ducati, we are losing something in braking. I can make a step forward on my riding style in 2/3 points to be ready for my flying lap in qualifying. The FP4 will be very important to choose the tire for the race: today we used both medium and soft and we need to understand how the compound will work on the long run”.

# 10 LUCA MARINI

“It will be an interesting weekend: for the first time I will ride the Ducati on a track different than Qatar. We will try to give our best and check the gap from the very first guys after the FP. We will start from the Losail standard bike for making another step forward in turning and on the front. Then I have to learn the new lines, trajectories and braking points as soon as I can. We need to work on the tires too because, compared to Qatar, the choice here will be less obvious between hard, soft, and medium. I really like the track and I’m curious to see what will happen”.  

RUBEN XAUS – SPORT DIRECTOR

 “We are happy to be back  in Europe: We feel more organized in Europe races. The best situation to optimize the working schedule too. Luca comes from two races where he did not collect points, but he has crossed the finishing line and has shown is potential. Enea arrive with a 10º and 11º place achieved in the races of Qatar, this gives us a lot of power. I think we can do very good on the Portimao track, here the Ducati are very competitive. We need to continue to work on the data for being competitive, correct some details to be there with the group of the top riders and make a step at the start and in the battle of the first 5 laps. We can hit the points and get closer to the Top10.
