PACIFIC GRAND PRIX OF MOTEGI

Harris WCM - Qualifying

Friday 3rd October 2003

DAVID DE GEA: 25th 1.54.612

"We had a lot of problems today that stopped me putting in a good time. At the end of this afternoon's session I missed the last ten minutes or so because we couldn't start the bike. The slipper clutch kept slipping and wouldn't engage so we couldn't start it.

I'm sure the guys will have it all sorted tomorrow and we should be able to do a lot better tomorrow."

CHRIS BURNS: 26th ­ 1.54.809

"I'm pleased that I had a full day on the bike and there we no major problems with the bike today. The braking seemed to be good and I am finding my braking points now.

I am hoping for more tomorrow though, as I become more familiar with this track. I haven't been here before."

PETER CLIFFORD ­ (Team Manager)

"Just plenty of frustrations for the guys today. Too many technical problems when the guys were trying to learn the circuit. Hopefully tomorrow will be a lot better."
