A Solid Start For San Carlo Honda Gresini At Brno

The San Carlo Honda Gresini team made a solid start to the weekend in the Czech Republic at Brno today, despite Alvaro Bautista's crash in the second free practice session.

Other than that Bautista was on the pace of the fastest riders in free practice and he ended the day with the seventh quickest time overall. His Italian team mate, Michele Pirro, was thirteenth fastest with a short gap behind the top CRT today. With a few small improvements to some areas Pirro struggled today, yet the Italian is confident he can put up an even stronger challenge in tomorrow afternoon's qualifying session.

Alvaro Bautista
“The day didn't finish how we would have liked with the crash near the end of the second session and even though there was no damage to the bike or myself I wasn't able to improve my lap time. We have been working on the set-up of the bike, looking for better stability in corner entry and we worked hard with the rear tyre but it didn't give us the grip we need. So the choice will be to run a hard tyre on the front and a soft on the rear, which will give us better stability and allow us to work on other areas of the bike tomorrow. We made a slight change to the swingarm setting and the feeling was positive so I am confident that we are close to where we need to be and we'll be in a position to challenge for a good grid position tomorrow.”

Michele Pirro
“We managed to set a decent time and we are not far behind the best CRT in terms of lap time and position but we still have to work on a few technical problems that prevented me from being able to push consistently today. We'll work on that tomorrow and try our best to obtain a good starting position for the race on Sunday.”
