Alice Team riders in top ten on Brno day one

Ducati satellite pair Toni Elias and Sylvain Guintoli reflect on the opening day of proceedings at the Cardion ab Grand Prix Ceske republiky.

Toni Elias - ninth

`I feel good on the bike. I only have some small problems with the front part but I am sure that tomorrow, thanks to the work of my team, we will find a good solution to go faster. To be in the top ten from the beginning is very important. The tyres are working really well and I think we can really have a good racing weekend.´

Sylvain Guintoli - tenth

`This is a good start for us. Valentino and Casey are registering amazing lap times, but the other riders in front of us are not so far ahead. It has been a strange start, we have encountered many small complications during the day and probably without them I could have been in a much better position. I remain hopeful of getting a good result tomorrow. The team is working really well and I will try to do my best for them.´
