Raffaele De Rosa: "Definitely a positive day. The team have brought some new elements here and they're working really well. In Superpole, I missed out on the fastest lap, but looking at my times, I can see that they're similar to those of the frontrunners. We're all really close. Tomorrow I expect a close race, a little like we saw in Thailand, so I need to start strong and maintain a fast pace to keep up with the fastest and then fight for the win in the final stages. Thanks to my team, the guys are doing a great job."
Federico Fuligni: "Two difficult days, but today's qualifying went better and we were able to improve a lot. We've found the right path, one that allows us to improve the rideability of our bike, particularly through the turns. In Superpole, just a few tenths less and we'd have been much further forwards, but that's that, and so I expect a tough race tomorrow. It will be important to start strong in order not to lose contact with the leaders. My team have really helped me today so thanks to them".
