More, from a press release issued by KTM-Red Bull:

The World Championship Road Racing Circus moved this weekend to Italy, in the very famous circuit of Barberino del Mugello, very close to Florence. Mika Kallio finished 4th while Casey Stoner finished 24th. The pole goes to the Spanish Barbera.

Kallio – I know I could make the pole position today: the bike is exactly how I want it! Unfortunately I was stopped by some riders in front of me during the last lap but I’m confident for tomorrow.

Stoner – I have some problems with the left wrist I broken last year and which I crashed during the Grand Prix of Le Mans. Moreover, we have to find a better setting for the chassis: I hope tomorrow we can solve it all.

Bartol – It’s only Friday but I’m happy for Mika who found the right feeling again. Casey has some physical problem while from our side we have to work on the chassis.
