A great Race 1 for Öttl today: he rediscovered the feeling with his Panigale V2 and finished sixth, gaining four positions from the starting grid.

"I'm quite satisfied with the first race of the weekend. A sixth-place finish in Race 1 isn't bad, especially starting from tenth on the grid.
The only downside is that we weren't able to set a really fast lap for tomorrow's grid. It's all very close, so I think we'll start from eleventh position tomorrow. More or less the same place we started from today.
It will be important to gain some positions right at the start. We will also evaluate some minor adjustments to the bike. Overall, I think we did a good job today. I'm happy, but of course, I'd like to achieve something more tomorrow."
