The comments of the drivers after free practice at Catalunya

Always fast and impressive, even in uncertain conditions in Barcelona, ??the ruler was Casey Stoner.
“We are quite pleased with this first day. Unfortunately we lost a little ‘time because of the weather variables and the track was neither wet nor dry completely. In general, however, I have a good feeling with the bike and everything seems to work fine. We would like to improve the grip and leaving behind the curve, look for more stability under braking, but in general the bike is working well and aim to improve tomorrow. We hope to run dry. Physically I feel better than the last few weeks, I’m suffering from a strong sinusitis that does not help me when I try to focus and discomfort also comes to the ears. However I will try to put this thing aside and focus on my work to be done ”

Definitely in good spirits even Marco Simoncelli, who, after the tension of recent days has been able to find the track wants and motivations.
“When I got here – confirmation – I was a little ‘tense, but even yesterday I was a little’ relaxed ‘. We are well distributed: Stoner is a bit ‘faster, but we are there. We need to improve in T3 and T4, where I lose several tenths, but I am confident and happy. In the race we can bring and if I can be close to Stoner can also learn from him. Unfortunately, today we have worked very little, but we are not in bad shape ”

Andrea Dovizioso is also satisfied.
“There were special conditions – from his analysis – but it is always important to turn in similar situations. In the afternoon session we started with the “rain”, but there was very little water on the asphalt and we destroyed after a few laps. When the track dried, we wanted to test both the soft and the hard and for that I could only do two laps tight, not sufficient to heat the shell. However, I had a good time and with more laps I might have been much closer to Stoner. But it was a good start and feel with the bike are good. ”

Jorge Lorenzo was one of the pilots who shot less and, therefore, does not look so worried.
“In fact – he explains – we only have twenty minutes to try the dry: detachment from the first is high, but there is room for improvement.”
