A very busy day in the Scot Racing garage, with four riders to serve, having Gabor Talmacsi joined Yuki Takahashi in the MotoGP box. And a very hot weather – the temperature was a main issue both for riders and machines. Yuki Takahashi (MotoGP) 16th - 1'43.777: "I'm not really satisfied because I could have done better. Unfortunately, in the fast lap I made a mistake. Otherwise, the position on the grid would be better. The temperature of air and asphalt, higher than this morning, disturbed a bit our set-up, but I believe we can adjust it in time for tomorrow's race". Gabor Talmacsi (MotoGP) 19th - 1'45.833: "I'm more than happy. I did not do any silly mistake, I did not crash, I qualified. What can I ask more? This was my first attempt on a MotoGP bike: let us be realistic. Moreover, I'm not in my best shape: I haveve a bit of temperature, but dottor Costa help me. Tired? Yes, a little. Two sessions in a single day is a lot of work". Hiroshi Aoyama (250cc) 6th - 1'47.166: "I went down in the first part of the session - in this condition, so hot the air and tarmac, it is difficult to understand well everything. If tomorrow we'll have the same condition, it is going to be a very tough race”. Raffaele De Rosa (250cc) 13th - 1'47.747: "The feeling is not the best, and I made a few mistakes in some places. But the lap times are very close - tomorrow will be important to be in the right group. The point is that, with a weather hot like this, it's difficult for the riders, for the engines, for the tyres. But I'm confident".
