Already from FP3, I was feeling much better than yesterday and I knew that I could push harder. “I am very happy, we have taken a huge step forward since yesterday. This was meant to be a difficult track for us on paper, but Zarco’s pole position also proved that our bike is working well here. Anyway, we will start from the second row, and I am sure that this will allow us to fight for a good result. “I was expecting to do a little bit more today in qualifying, but we were unfortunate as, on both of my two flying laps with the soft tyre, I found the yellow flags.

But I managed to get in a quite good lap. I was not feeling so good on the bike today, actually the whole weekend we‘ve been struggling a little bit, like all Yamahas. Tomorrow we will need to be careful with the usage of the tires, but to start from Pole I hope is what will give me that extra help.” Johann Zarco Fabio Quartararo – P2 This is a difficult track for Ducati and me, but the bike’s potential is so high that we are obtaining good results. “I am very happy, it is a nice sensation to be in the Pole position at the Sachsenring.
