The conditions for Q2 have changed a lot from yesterday. Our riders have not finished in the expected positions because they were fast on dry yesterday. They struggled to gain confidence with the bike in the critical conditions on the wet. In any case, they start from the middle of the grid. They will give the best in the race in any conditions we find tomorrow.

IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia We've found difficult track conditions in Q2, with some parts almost dry and some wet. In these conditions, it was difficult for me to manage the tires. I will start from the middle of the grid. Then, my target for tomorrow, if the race is in dry conditions like it seems to be, is to get points.

IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia In the morning session, when the track conditions were full water, I felt better than in Q2, when it was different, with less water. It was challenging to find a way to be fast. I struggled a lot. It wasn't a good day. That is another learning day in the wet conditions. Tomorrow it will be dry. I should do a good start from the back to fight for a good position.
