"When we arrived here this afternoon, I was not sure how much riding I was doing, because the wind was very gusty. He started off on when it started, however, and did a good job of cleaning the track. We tried different options and got a little better, but not as if we really are. I did two races and has managed to string together a couple of laps at a decent pace in both hard and soft tires. I ended the day with an accident Turn 2, where a lot of guys came down this week. I just lost the front. In any case, sufficient proof, since this weekend it really means something. We know it will be difficult because everyone pushes so force, but we will do our best to come here and do a good performance. "

"I would say that today was a challenge: the weather conditions were much tougher than yesterday, and I had another accident when he slipped on a white line Luckily I fell all over the country - it is nothing serious True problem is that about half an hour before the finish line, I started to lose power .. on my shoulder and I could not run anymore. It 'a shame, because I had just made his best time, and I might be able to drop a little 'over there. Instead, we have not even connect the two soft tires we had. I started in the long run, but I stopped because I was losing tenths of a round, then the arms. It' said that they are not as far as it seems , although there is still much to be done on both bikes and myself, because the shoulder is apparently still able to respond to these two intense days of testing. By Thursday, I do some light exercise, and is massaged , and then we'll see. "
