GP SOUTH AFRICA – QUALIFYNG PRACTICE Nr. 2

Gibernau confirms the second best time, very good pace for Edwards

The Team Telefonica MoviStar Honda MotoGP did a good job today focusing on the set-up of the bikes in preparation of the first race of the season on the warm and sunny Phakisa Freeway racetrack.

Sete Gibernau was the second fastest of the day at only 35 thousands from pole position, while his team-mate Colin Edwards lapped with a good race rhythm.

Sete Gibernau 2nd Best time (1:32.682): “I’m not completely satisfied of my position, tomorrow morning we will try some new solutions in order to improve the pace and the feeling with the bike. This afternoon we did some endurance practices with the tyres used during the free practice of the morning but we still need to work in order to find the best setting. All in all I’m confident because I have the best team and I’m confident in myself.”

Colin Edwards 5th fastest time (1:33.111): “Today we did a good job working for the race. I lapped with a good rhythm. I had a good pace even if there wasn’t the occasion to score a fast lap. For sure we need more time to test, the rain spoiled both Irta test sessions so we will continue the development of the bikes during the two-day tet scheduled at Jerez immediately after the race.”

Fausto Gresini, team manager: “Today we did a good job. For sure we need to test some more solutions tomorrow morning in order to find the best setting for the race. I’m sure it will be a tough race for everyone and very interesting but I’m confident the Team Telefonica MoviStar riders will be fighting in front.”
