Most of the riders initially went out on track tentatively as a few damp patches from earlier rain were still visible in the first session this morning, but the track conditions improved for the one hour afternoon practice session with the German rookie taking to the Indianapolis track for the first time on his LCR Honda satellite bike.

"We all knew that it would have not been so easy today because the infield was very dirty and the tarmac did not provide very good grip condition. So at this point it was not easy to work on the bike finding the proper set up especially when you have to struggle with the tyres. This situation made my first outing here even more difficult but in general we are not far from the top group and from our standard pace. Actually we must improve the rear feeling entering the corners and I think we will be capable to improve our pace for tomorrow’s qualifying."
