Randy de Puniet - Thirteenth
`It was a tough day today. We started with a quite good warm up in the dry and we were optimistic for a dry race. But the conditions were very diffiicult before the start and I did not get a good start loosing five places in the first lap. I struggled from the beginning with lack of grip both front and rear but I tried the best I could, trying not to make any mistake. Overall I tried to survive the race and it´s not very clear why we had such a poor grip but we must find a solution for next race in Japan which can potentially be wet.´
