Scott Redding (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #45)
"It was a very positive day and I must admit I had a lot of fun. I completed a lot of laps and even when at the end of FP2 the team asked me to come back to the box, the feeling was so good that I kept lapping then running out of gas. That's good, also because the pace was strong even in the afternoon with the higher temperature".

Michael Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #21)
"We encountered some difficulties today. This morning I didn't have a good feeling with my bike while in the afternoon, on a much warmer tarmac, we were able to improve while the others struggled a bit more. For this reason, I'm quite satisfied even if we have to work to make a small step forward".
