Zarco Clinches Second Row start in Austria – Syahrin Primed to Fight

“This morning we had half and half conditions again, so it was not possible to improve the lap time. FP4 has already been in the dry and I was happy to ride well. My lap time was coming quite good, although I struggled a bit with the acceleration. Overall, the bike gave me a good feeling and the Qualifying was pretty interesting. I believed I can do a fantastic lap time, but I did all and I’m in sixth position. It’s complicate to fight against these fast bikes, but I try to manage. I must be happy about this and use this opportunity to start well, do the best as possible at the beginning of the race to be close to the podium and after half the race we will see how good the others are.”

“We are a little bit behind in 18thposition, but it has not been easy for me to find a good feeling at this track in the course of this weekend, especially with the changing conditions. I have a lot of spinning on the rear and I tried to find the required grip and a decent rhythm. To be honest, it was quite tough, but gradually we understand where we have to work on. I hope that we can make another step forward in the Warm Up tomorrow morning.”
