Taiyo did a brilliant qualifying session. He finished in 11th, improving a lot his lap time. Mario did P20 and Tatchakorn P26. It wasn't easy, considering they hadn't ridden so much on dry sessions. But they all improved their lap time, Mario and Tatchakorn more than one second. For Buasri, the goal was to gain experience in this environment on his first Grand Prix. A positive session for all of us; it will be interesting to see which position they can finish tomorrow in the race.

We had two practices in wet conditions before the qualifying practice, where I tried to do as many laps as possible. I was happy before Q1 because the track was dry. As many riders wanted to follow me, I decided to go alone, doing this my lap time. That's good for me because having the pace of riding alone is essential for the race. In Q2, I tried to follow the top riders, and I'm happy about the lap time and the feeling with the bike. I hope to have an exciting race.

It wasn't a bad day. I increased my feeling about dry conditions, considering we hadn't enough time to set up the bike when the conditions were mixed. The feeling continues to be good on the wet. I need more stability in dry conditions. We will improve the bike for the race. What do you think about seeing how the weather is tomorrow.

I'm happy because today has been a good day for me. I improved 0,7 second my lap time from yesterday. After two practices with wet conditions, we arrived at the Q1 without information about the setting in dry conditions. That prevented me from pushing and looking for a good lap time.
