We also know where we need to improve in the future. The mail is not perfect yet, but the bike has great potential, we are optimistic. Yamaha's engineers have worked hard and did a great job. I made my best time of the report at noon today, the most difficult time considering the weather, so it was definitely a good thing. Let's see what we can do when we come back . "
Ben Spies: " It was a good test, we tried a lot and we are going in the right direction. Today I tried the Yamaha of our test which was slightly different from mine and then to make a comparison. I made a small mistake, losing the front but it can happen when working on the track. All in all it went well and I am very satisfied and at the same time looking forward to coming back here to see what will change . "
