“It was difficult starting from the fifth row but I felt good on the bike and we were able to have a strong first few laps, I made some good passes and felt pretty comfortable getting through the guys. Obviously it takes some time to get through people but then in the middle part of the race I felt my pace was ok. We’ve got a few things to work on, so we can try and build on the feeling we had for tomorrow. Towards the end of the race I had a slight problem which didn’t help, but we can rectify that tomorrow and look to improve on that.”

“We’ve definitely got a bit of work to do, 12th on the grid isn’t where we want to be. The bike feels good and I feel like we have strong pace over distance, but it just didn’t come together for us in qualifying today. Getting a good start will be key tomorrow, if I can get away well and get on the back of the leading group I am confident we can have a good result.”

“I felt Jason rode really well today. Qualifying didn’t quite work out for us and starting on the fifth row made things difficult, but he got a really strong start to get up into the top eight and rode a solid race. We had a small issue towards the end which didn’t help matters, but we are confident that we can make progress tomorrow. Tim had a bit of a tough qualifying, his ideal lap time is really good but he just wasn’t quite able to string a lap together today. He’s feeling good for race distance, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.”
