"It was a good day. We were able to be quite competitive. In Free Practice 1 I also felt quite good. It was a long time since I rode here. Last year I only did a few laps before withdrawing from the GP. But today was a good day. In the afternoon Practice, with our hot laps we were able to secure an entry for Q2. It's quite great – three Yamahas in Q2 tomorrow! We are improving the bike compared to last year. The bike is more competitive and more agile, and this is helpful on a hot lap. I feel quite competitive in Sector 3 and 4. We improved our package, but tomorrow we still have work to do. Let's see. If it's dry, I think we can do a good Sprint and then let's try to enjoy the Race."
