P1 | Stefano Manzi | Ten Kate Racing Yamaha
“It was a good Friday for me, this morning I enjoyed a lot the track with the new tarmac in dry conditions. We were already on the qualifying lap time from last year in the first practice. It was nice to be back after three weeks without races. This afternoon on the wet, the feeling was a bit strange but not too bad as we finished P6. The rain destroyed our programme of the weekend, but we knew that it would rain today. I hope we’ll be able to improve the pace tomorrow morning, to find something more.”
