"The afternoon was very difficult. The bike behaved strangely during the time attack, especially on the electronics side, which seemed to be working in a different range. I kept highsiding in every left corner, with unusual sliding on entry. There’s something big we need to change — particularly in the electronics — to get the bike working better in time attack mode. I never managed to put together a clean lap. We’re suffering a lot with rear grip. This track has many long corners, and historically, the asphalt has always had low grip — which makes things even harder for us. It’s not easy to work around this. I don’t know how competitive we’ll be, but for sure the bike will be better tomorrow.”
