Luca Marini (Practice 15th / 1’38.136)
“FP1 was a very good start, and I was able to set lap times smoothly. In the afternoon, like other riders, I had to work to shave off more time, but improving rear grip remains a challenge. Based on the data we gathered today, we plan to try some new ideas. Q1 will be a tough battle, including with Mir, but I’ll do my best. You never know what will happen in MotoGP, so I want to seize every opportunity.”
