VALE: Yes. Like always, when the
championship starts, all are interesting. It's
very high for, for the performance because the
tests, we, we did a lot of tests but always the
race is a little bit different. And so
everybody waiting for, for the first race.
Yes, is I'm happy because we work a lot.
Is, is a quite longer work because the tires
are quite a lot different compared to last
year. The potential is very high and we go
very well in Malaysia, not so bad in Jerez. We
started getting a little bit too much last week
here in, in the first test but is, is quite
normal. In every track I go for the first time
with Bridgestone, we have some, some
problems. So now the time is not
so long for, for improve but we have some
different setting for try to go faster than
last week.
Yes. I think Yamaha make a fantastic
job. Looks like the bike is -- I want to wait
for real race, stay with other guy in the
the straight for, for see the performance. But
the bike is, is, is good. It's fast. Also the
other rider are able to go, to go fast. And
this don't happen in the past, so it means
our bike is in a good level of performance.
Yes, last year was, Casey was good more
or less every race. And so we have to, to
improve a lot some, some, some small things.
And we start -- we work I think very well
through to the winter. The championship is
long, so I think race by race we improve and I
don't ride the bike at 100 percent at this
moment.
Yes, last year I think a lot of times was
me, Dani and, and Casey. But it's like this
year we are, we are more because a lot of rookie
going very very well in the test. So maybe the
battle is more open and the number of riders to,
to fight for the victory will be more. So I
think we, we expect a good fun.
So the work for the light was good,
for I think is possible to go at the limit. And
the safety is, is okay. This is important. The
bigger problem is the temperature, especially
around the 11:00 is quite cold. And the, the
asphalt is a little bit too much slippery but
the same for everybody. The important is the
safety and the light work well.  |
