 MONTMELO 
"This was a day a bit 'special, with just three riders - Stoner, Pedrosa and Rossi - who have not mounted in the soft rubber rear end. The first surprise is just the Australian Honda: "I do not understand because there was such a hurry to mount the soft today. " This is so that his sixth place (in the combined times) and the eighth of Dani Pedrosa are not too accurate. Indeed. "The 1'42" 8 Pedrosa used the harder tire is very significant, "examines Andrea Dovizioso. Beyond the hard rubber or soft, however, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi is going strong, unfortunately, pretty slowly.


VALENTINO ROSSI
"There 's been pretty bad - Rossi admits - even if the weather is not entirely true, we are not so bad, because I have always rode with the harsh, while others, by fitting the soft, have lowered lot of their time. I do not know if you can use for the race, need to make some changes tomorrow. Unfortunately I did not lose much rear grip and acceleration and all the things we tried to do to improve the situation, I have lost confidence in the front. We then returned to a more standard trim and in the last laps I was pretty constant, but I keep slipping and losing too much acceleration. I honestly am a bit 'worried: we must find something to get more grip behind. The new electronics is not bad, I can drive a little 'more easily, while the aluminum swingarm, which at Mugello had given me some advantages incoming curve, there did not give me the same feeling: maybe tomorrow we could go back to the carbon one, because there is too little time to make some significant evidence. "

DOVIZIOSO
 "A GOOD START" " I'm very happy, we started well, I have a good feeling with the bike. Here, as always, there are problems of grip the front wheel and the tires fall after just three laps. For this performance single count to a certain point and it is also difficult to assess the pace. I finally mounted the soft rear, but not to make time, because I kept the hard front, but to make a comparison. I have not forced too, but as a step are 2-3 tenths from the first, which, perhaps, Lorenzo, because if you carefully evaluate the performance of the Honda, you realize that are really strong: 42 "with tires 8 Pedrosa hard finish is very significant! We need to improve on the front, there are 3-4 curves where the rubber is really in trouble. The Yamaha are strong here, but there's also the fact that we are 4 strong riders and we aim for a post officer for 2013, but there is not room for everyone: hence there We encourage each other and we are increasingly strong. For the race, the question is which tire to use, the advantage of a soft 5/6 tenths, but falls rapidly, but is not that hard then gives you this advantage in the final. For now, however, the softer option seems the best. "


OTHER
Bautista: "We have made ​​good progress, as was already seen at Le Mans in the dry. In the first free practice we tried a different setting for more rear traction and the harder tire, but I liked it. In the afternoon I put on the soft and the situation has improved dramatically: see you tomorrow if we can do the whole race. " Lorenzo: "I am very pleased with the turn of today have gone well. This is a very important game and we must be careful to choose the right tire. " Stoner: "I did not go so bad, but in the end, for no reason, they all mounted the soft and when you are down. The situation is not so worrying, even if we suffer from the usual chatter " . Pedrosa: "This morning I made ​​the entire round with the soft rear and went well, but also in the afternoon, with the harsh, I did not go so bad. Unfortunately, we suffer a little 'to the chatter.
