From 125 to MotoGP, with only a brief passage through the 250 pit-lane. Gabor Talmacsi entered the MotoGP list for the first time today. He posted a best lap that, if this were the qualifying day, would put him on the grid for the GP of Catalunya. Not bad for a rider with no experience at all of the class and that only late this morning knew for certain that he was allowed to take part into the practice.

Good session for Yuki Takahashi (9^th): who did not experience such a good Friday since the GP of Japan.

Gabor Talmacsi (MotoGP rider):
"I would prefer to have spent at least one year in the 250cc class as approach to the MotoGP. It was not possible, and I've been forced to try now. And I'm enjoying it... I like the idea to be the first East European to graduate to MotoGP. I'm not worried. If I've got talent, I will succeed; if not, goodbye".

Yuki Takahashi (MotoGP rider):
"We did an important change to our set-up, which now is different from the one experienced at Mugello. I received immediately a good feeling. We have something to fine-tuning in the suspension area, but I'm positive about this weekend".
