"Today's third consecutive pole and All Time Lap Record was another great moment for Yamaha and the team. However, we knew that while Fabio's one-lap performance is strong, race pace would be trickier. On top of this, the track conditions were not great, and all Yamaha riders suffered from a lack of grip because of it. Fabio was fighting hard for every position and point and got the best result possible under the circumstances. Álex was unlucky to catch a yellow flag in qualifying, because I think he had the potential to start from the second row. He also had a solid pace in the Sprint, probably good enough for a top-10 placement. It's a shame that he ran off track, but we will get to have a do-over tomorrow. The team will analyse the data and see if we can improve in a few areas for the Race. We hope for good weather again!"
