"We achieved our goal of having both riders inside Q2. Fabio again set a very impressive lap time, which reflects just how good he is feeling on the bike and how well he is riding in general. It's great to see Álex so competitive as well. He is working hard, and at the private Misano test he seems to have found something to help him feel more comfortable. We know he likes Silverstone a lot, so the team is keen for him to have a good weekend. And it's not just our team that is performing well: Jack Miller is also inside the top-10, and Miguel Oliveira came close too. This underlines that Yamaha is steadily improving and heading in the right direction. However, it's only Friday: no grid positions or points are secured yet. We need to keep working, because we know the competition in Silverstone can be stiff. But we are fully motivated to get good qualifying positions tomorrow and then, hopefully, do well in the Sprint."
