Randy de Puniet - 7th

“I am a bit disappointed because we have been expecting to get on the second row. I had the potential to do it but found some slower riders in the last laps and lost a few tenths as my ideal time was half second faster than this. However we are really pleased with our race set up. A second row start would have made my life easier but I feel confident for the race.”
