Ratthapark Wilairot
“My feelings along the weekend have been improving progressively and today (Sunday) I saw that things went well, despite the fact I still think that I am at 60% of my level. Today we got a good setting to face the first GP of the season thanks to the job done with Simon Bleasdale (chief mechanic), we tested a lot of different settings and we have a lot of information, but the good thing is that we set the bike up correctly to go fast at the corners and in the straight. I still am quite far from the first rider and I know that we have to work a lot to be at the best level, but the important thing is that we did a good job and now we have only to focus in Qatar where the excitement of the competition is added.”
