PACIFIC GRAND PRIX OF MOTEGI

Final Qualifying Saturday 4th October 2003

DAVID DE GEA: 24th 1.51.429

"Today was very good for me. We've found some good settings and have an excellent tyre selection for the race tomorrow. I feel comfortable on the bike and really look forward to the race tomorrow. I plan to start quick and hopefully finish ahead of the Moriwaki and Kawasaki bikes."

CHRIS BURNS: 26th 1.53.133

"Well I improved on yesterdays time, which is good and we have just a few minor problems with the chassis to work on tonight. We've got our race tyres sorted for tomorrow, a good rear tyre and no problems at all with grip. I am looking forward to the race and hoping that tomorrow I will finish my first GP of the year."

PETER CLIFFORD ­ (Team Manager)

"A good day, a great step forward by both guys. Chris of course still needs time to learn the track but he certainly made progress.

A superb performance from David with not only an impressive qualifying time but also some good laps on race tyres which encourages us to think the he could have some fun tomorrow."
