“I'm quite happy with the day, I wanted this performance to go straight to Q2 and stay with the best and improve the lap time. I did it, it wasn't easy, sometimes I tried and I wasn't able to go as fast as I wanted. But the last lap was quite interesting, following Valentino (Rossi) was a good reference and I tried to catch him. I lost a bit of time in the last corner and lost maybe a tenth or two, maybe I could have done even better, but ninth position is quite good at the moment.”
