The pilots? comments after Friday?s free practice at Le Mans
LE MANS – A great time, an extraordinary step: Casey Stoner can not be satisfied with his first day of testing at Le Mans.
The pilots' comments after Friday's free practice at Le Mans
“Compared Estoril – he explains – we have made very few changes, because the two tracks are very similar. The bike has now responded well and are happy with the conduct, even if we can improve a bit in acceleration, because the RC212V rears a little ‘too. I could make a couple of tenths better, but we are competitive, are quite surprised by the difficulty of the Yamaha. Theoretically, there is no reason why they are so far back and I’m sure tomorrow will be closer. ”Less pleased with Dani Pedrosa third and the only one to fail to improve in the afternoon the weather made the morning.
“The bike is not bad, but it moves a bit ‘too – is the analysis of Spanish -: why I did not feel too much, try to make it more stable. Physically I’m more or less at Estoril, but I’m more tired: they are particularly difficult to change direction. It ‘s normal to be so, because I could do little training. ”
Jorge Lorenzo tries to explain the difficulties of Yamaha.
“Our times – he says – more or less similar to those of 2010, but Honda has taken a major step forward. In 2010 I did 1’34 “2 and that’s my goal, and as a step, the 1’34″ bass is within my reach. We see that in the race pace will be able to keep the others, but it is clear that we must improve: the issue is not only the power, because the Honda is also more stable under acceleration. ”Andrea Dovizioso, thus justifying the sixth, the last of the official Honda.
“I started well – are his words – with a good feeling with the bike and although a few corners are not 100% yet, I think I have a good pace. In the afternoon we did some ‘casino because we wanted to experiment: here it is difficult to just get the rhythm, especially by making many changes on the bike, but we had to try them. This is why I am a bit ‘nervous and I made some mistakes, but overall the situation is better than the last two races. ”
Moderately satisfied Ben Spies, tenth.
“After what happened at Estoril, it was important to share with a great motivation. In both sessions, I worked mainly thinking about the race tomorrow we can be with the best. “Source: http://www.zimbio.com/MotoGP/articles/WaQ4jLOqFuY/pilots+comments+after+Friday+free+practice
