“Today I immediately found a good feeling, much better than seven days ago. We tried two different configurations on the two bikes and managed to find the right way to make the RS-GP work well on this circuit. In the next few days it seems that temperatures will rise further and this could give us further help. The objective in tomorrow's FP3 is to confirm the top-10, while in qualifying it would be important to be able to start from the first two rows."

“I am very satisfied with what we did today. We tried some new things, including a rear shock, which gave us good feedback. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth not being able to make the most of the new tyre, unfortunately towards the end of FP2 I found myself behind slower riders and this essentially ruined my laps. With the medium, however, I found a good feeling, definitely better than last week, and this is a good start."
