PORTUGESE GP- ESTORIL

HARRIS - WCM

Final Qualifying - Saturday 6th September

David de Gea - 21st 1'41.105

"A very good day for me, my mechanics and the whole team. I am very happy, the bike is working well and my laps time are very consistent.

Tomorrow we are aiming for fast, consistent lap times, somewhere in the 43's.

I am so happy also, to finish in front of the factory Kawasaki of McCoy and up to the final lap, I was in 20th position, in front of Pitt also.

Chris Burns ­ 24th 1'42.199

"I am disappointed to be where I am at the rear of the grid, but hopefully I will not be finishing the race in that position tomorrow. It's my first time here, so I am getting to know my way around now, after not having an opportunity yesterday to put in many laps at all. I've done 42 laps today,

I'm struggling a bit with some front engine chatter and the engine braking is very sensitive, so we have a few things to work on overnight, but basically the bike feels strong.

I guess my laps times aren't to bad and I have made a significant improvement on my times from yesterday.

Tomorrow I finally get to race the four stroke, I really look forward to that."

Peter Clifford ­ Team Manager

"I'm absolutely thrilled. Everyone's done a brilliant job. We only came here with two engines for the two riders and we've qualified in front of people with more money, backing and track time.

We all know that it is race day that counts, but I certainly wasn't sure that we'd get this far on our first attempt."
