"We were struggling with the soft – we can't find the extra grip on this tyre on the rear all the way around the track. We had similar problems as we had in other GPs. I couldn't brake any later, but Fabio is braking 20 metres later than the rest of the Yamahas, and that's where Fabio makes the difference. Starting from P17, the race gets very difficult, and we don't have a lot of chances to overtake. We need to keep working. I hope that tomorrow it will be easier with the medium rear tyre in terms of stability, because the soft was a bit unpredictable for us."
