Öttl had to settle for fifth place in today's Superpole, after a long red flag

Philipp Öttl

“Today I’m quite happy because I have a good feeling with the bike. I think we are consistent, we have good speed and a good starting position for tomorrow's race.

The red flag wasn't great, first of all because I was on a good lap, and then there was a lot of dust on the track at turn 1. At that moment I tried a different engine brake and I think it could be useful for tomorrow. Surely the long break was not pleasant.

We still have some work to do, but nothing out of the ordinary, and I can't wait for tomorrow's race".
