Motegi - There is not very much to say about the day - rain came, and all the qualifying sessions were cancelled. The grid will be determined according to the combination of the two free practices (Friday on dry, today on wet).

Yuki Takahashi (MotoGp) 13th - 1'50.404:
"I had a chance to test in the wet - it was my first time with a MotoGp bike. And this is good for my data base of information. On the contrary, the fact that we had only two sessions is very bad. I know very well the track, and this was an excellent chance to understand better the bike. About tomorrow, rain or sun will be the same: with the rain I've more chances, but it is more risky. With the dry I've more experience, but not enough yet".

Hiroshi Aoyama (250cc) 2nd - 1'53.695:
"Second place is a good result. We had just two practice sessions, so we are going to try something tomorrow during the warm up, if the weather will be good. This is my home race, and I want to get a good result. I hope we can fight for it".

Raffaele De Rosa (250cc) 6th - 1'54.584:
"Nice weather. At home: friends say that in Neaples it is sunny. Lucky people. Here, not enough time to fix the better set-up, nor in the dry or in the wet. But our Honda is very easy to set up, and I have a good feeling both on dry and on wet. But, as a new comer, I want more time. Anyway, this is my best position on the grid: so it is not so bad, I would say".
