In the classification with respect to FP4 the behaviour of the tyres of the bike changes a lot and I have not taken advantage of it well. On the second attempt I was ready, but in both turn 1 and turn 2 I have made a mistake in the line losing a lot time. The bike has improved a lot over the weekend. We’ll see how is my first race in MotoGP”

Neither of us has follow another rider to get that first partial that gives you a little more speed.

This morning is going very well, although on the last lap had an unimportant drop in corner one, immediately in the second practice , we  solved with medium tires. We tried a first time attack that didn’t go well but we’ve finally managed to improve. At first it is difficult to understand what the limit of the tyres is, with the new tyres the line is different.
