"I put in a great last lap but to be honest I still don't know how I did it. The bike is obviously working well but I guess this is the kind of circuit where you need to take your brain out a bit and attack each corner as if it was the last. The set-up is good, my pace not so much but I think I can stick it out in the lead group. I'm happy because we've improved the stability under braking and I want to thank the team for the way they have gone about coming up with solutions to a variety of different problems. This is the fastest time I've ever done here and we have a good position for the race tomorrow. The foot is uncomfortable but it isn't too much of a problem on the bike so that's the important thing!"
