JOSE LUIS CARDOSO #30:

"Me and the team are happy, in these three days of free practice at Phillip Island, we have learnt a lot of things about the motorcycle. We have done a lot of km without errors, and we also got the chance to ride on wet track during the second day, obtaining times not too far from the first riders. I can say I'm happy about everything; today in dry conditions I improved my best time of nearly half a second and there is not so much difference from the best times. We have worked a lot on the tyres, trying many of new ones to facilitate DUNLOP in their work. There are improvements and this allowed me to ride faster at the end of the day. My best time has been done with race tyres in 1'32''4".

ANDRE LAUGIER - TECHNICAL CHIEF:

"I can say that during these three days of practice, we did a good job. It rained on the second day but this allowed us to make a lot of tests with rain tyres with CARDOSO, and he had a lot of good sensations. For the moment, we already can see good improvements from last year. This makes us confident even if we obviously have a lot of work to do. Anyway, the team environment is extremely good and we are confident".
