Paul Denning – Team Manager:
“Today has been a disappointing end to what has been a good weekend's work. Chris suffered an extremely unusual technical problem which I know the Suzuki factory will react to very quickly and he deserved much better – he's an awesome racer who just needs his luck to change. For Loris it was his most competitive race on a Suzuki so far, and he had the pace to finish at least in the top five if everything had gone to plan. Unfortunately he made a mistake early on – which can happen when you are pushing to the maximum – and although he fought back to seventh he was denied by a similar problem to Chris. The Team is feeling very disappointed at the moment, but we have made some steps this weekend both in qualifying and with race pace, and the guys still have the confidence to look forward to Le Mans and pushing for the front positions.”
