Mike di Meglio: “This morning, it was quite cold but the free session was a good one for me and we could improve for the qualifying practice.
In the afternoon, the wind changed direction and so we had to modify some settings but I had a very good feeling with the bike. We also use a tyre larger because there are some larges curves on this track. I could make one fast lap at the end of the practice that allowed me to be classified in 10th place, even if there was traffic on the track. The whole team and myself were confidents for tomorrow. ”
