5th Nico Terol 2.08.454 (17 laps):
“To be honest I am really happy, just because of the way we started the session. I was in the top three for the majority of the hour, with a really good rhythm. We had an issue with rear end chatter on my Aprilia but I am still satisfied. The team is working really well and I feel calm because I know we will solve it tomorrow. It was a shame because I was unable to finish the session out on the track but we have followed on well from the last test at Jerez, we’re going fast with pretty much the same settings on the Aprilia so we just need to work on getting the rear grip right and we’ll be ready.”

12th Bradley Smith 2.09.945 (16 laps):
“I’m exhausted, the first session is always so exciting. To be honest my mechanics had more work to do today than we would have liked but we had some issues with my carburettor. We don’t know what caused it but we do know what we have to do to fix it, which is more important. As far as chassis is concerned the Aprilia is working perfectly – I feel like I can really lean it over everywhere. So I’m not stressed about it, I know that tomorrow once the bike is running faster we can get in the positions where we belong. I’m not far off as it is and I was able to follow a few guys through most of the corners anyway.”
