Fabiano Sterlacchini – Pramac Racing Technical Director
“It’s not the approach to the circuit that we had hopped, we know that this is always a difficult circuit for us. But the good lap recorded by both riders of the official team make us hope for a better result on the tomorrow’s qualifying. We’ve changed the motorbike set-up reducing our gap from the best riders times. This evening we will face the official Ducati technical team and we will try to get a better balance for our motorbike.”

Mika Kallio – Pramac Racing Team – 14th best time in 1’41 .297
“I am disappointed for not having completed the practice in the top ten, I know that this is a result that I can easily reach so I’ll commit tomorrow to get a good result in the second free practice and then in the qualifying. I have a good feeling with the third part of the circuit that is one of the most driven of the track, I’ve got the sixth time overall. I have to improve in other parts. Seeing the official Ducati riders ahead gives me enormous confidence in the motorbike and I hope to be able to get a good qualifying tomorrow. ”

Aleix Espargaro – Pramac Racing Team – 16th best time in 1’41 .742
“I still have some problems with the load on the front wheel as in Qatar. During the tests we have changed a bit the set-up and I bought a little feeling with the track and the bike, reducing my gap lap after lap. Unfortunately, the first free practice continue to be a bit difficult for me. Certainly the sixteenth time is not a good result, but I consider very positive that there is less than one second gap between me and the seventh rider of the classification. “
