Our riders made a perfect qualifying session. That's a good result, but the important is tomorrow's race. Chantra and Ogura have a good pace, and we believe they can maintain it during the 19 laps.

The weekend is going more than perfect from Friday's first lap. We tried to find the setting that allowed me to be confident with the bike. I'm so happy and excited about this P1. We will see what I can do. Of course, I'll try to win. My pace is good, but the Ogura's pace, too!

I'm happy with this result in qualifying. I did a good lap time at the end and was faster than expected. Chantra is the fastest this weekend. Let's see what happens tomorrow. The race is long; I will take my time and hope to finish in a good position. I want to thank the support of the fans.
