フリー走行もイマイチだし、ケニー含むホンダ勢が調子良さそうなんで、今回はお茶でも飲みながらゆっくり観戦って感じでしょうか。

ホッパーとポールデニングのコメントも載せときました。
ちょっともがいているようですね。。。


John Hopkins:

“I can’t say I’m ecstatic with the position as we’re starting from the third row! We had a few little set-up problems. We changed something this morning and it didn’t really work how we wanted it to, so we had to change it back and lost a bit of track time. After that we worked hard with Bridgestone to find the best tyres. I would like to have another half a second on race tyres, but we are working as hard as we can and Bridgestone has brought us some good stuff. We will have a good think about it overnight and I’ll get a good night’s rest and come out stronger tomorrow. We may try some things in the morning to get a better situation, but at the end of the day when the flag drops all I can do is give it my best shot!”


Paul Denning – Team Manager:

“Both the guys pushed very hard and did their absolute best this afternoon, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to put Rizla Suzuki as close to the front as we would want to be in qualifying. We came to Sachsenring expecting it to be tough for various reasons and the result today has probably met our expectation. A combination of factors is restricting the riders from finding the pace they need to take a significant step forward. We are going to need to burn the midnight oil to try to find some solutions before the morning. The race is very long at 30 laps and will be very physical, but we will be doing all we can in the warm-up to make sure we can run at a consistent pace and bring home as many points as possible.”
