Simone Corsi – Rider #24
“Today was the best day for us since the start of the season. Sachsenring is definitely a track I like where I have fun and the feeling was good. In both FP1 and FP2 we did a race simulation with the tyres. In the afternoon I improved my fast lap time, but we still have to work on the race pace because Sunday will be a long race and we don’t We don’t have to get the times up too high. I’m happy because with the team we are working well, the goal for tomorrow is to make a step and enter Q2, then we will give our best for Sunday”.
Lorenzo Baldassarri – Rider #7
“This morning we tried to establish the feeling with the bike and the track. In the afternoon I wasn’t able to improve because of the high tarmac temperatures. Now we will analyze the data with the team for tomorrow, where we will try to take a step forward ahead of qualifying”.
