“Fifth again! Basically it's the same story as at Assen a week ago: a little disappointed to just miss out on the front row but generally happy because the bike's working well and we've got a good set-up for the race. Hopefully we can get a good start and see how it goes. Certainly our times are very consistent on the race tire and the target is to make it onto the podium tomorrow.”
“The bike's working well and we're able to put in good consistent lap times. My final position should've been higher but I lost some time when I came across another rider. Nothing is decided until superpole but it will be important to get a good position as this is a difficult circuit to overtake on.”
“Muggeridge and I clashed - I got a good start and he got a bad start and we both drifted over to the right to get a better line for the first corner, ... The bikes were wheelieing and then I felt him touch the back of my bike and then it felt like something touched my brake lever.”
