I drove it to the frame and engine for 2011 and I liked it very much. Thanks to the changes we made, I braked a little slower in speed and I get to them faster. I am happy because I noted some very quick laps in the afternoon the temperature was high. " Ben Spies: "The engines used today was a standard match. In the morning we moved in a more leisurely pace in the afternoon we were testing tires. Fastest laps us did when the bike had hard rubber tires and there was heat. We preferred not to spoil a lot of tires, but keep some for the third day when the track will be better. Also tried different settings match driving style. Apart from these, we tested with different shock and saw that we won a few tenths in lap while we were fast and used tires, which is encouraging. For tomorrow we have a lot to do, but today was a good day. " Wilko Zeelemberg, Team Manager: "The day was warm today and that meant that the track does not have good traction. The afternoon data were improved and were able to get some data that we wanted to improve the handling of motorcycles, something essential to Sepang. Finally, we are pleased with the outcome. " Massimo Meregalli, Team Director: "It was a very productive day for Ben. He worked with various suspension settings and made some good times at the end when the tires were worn on. This makes us optimistic. Tomorrow we will push for faster laps. The Jorge was always fast and the team worked very well, everyone is happy. "
