He was ninth in Practice and directly into Q2<\/a>, but admits he currently only has one \u201cusable\u201d bike, and that still isn\u2019t giving him the feeling he had at Motegi.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n
\u201cThe positive side is that I\u2019m definitely starting further ahead than I did in the last race,\u201d he told Sky Italy.<\/p>\n
\u201cOtherwise, it was a difficult day to understand because we had several complications with one of the two bikes in both sessions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t able to continue a job I\u2019d done well, putting in more laps with the tyre.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, in the end, we managed to get into Q2, despite a less-than-perfect lap. The goal was to get into Q2, and making it is good.<\/p>\n
\u201cTomorrow morning, it will be crucial to figure out which tyres to try for the sprint race, and we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if the problems he had on one of his Ducatis were the same as in Indonesia, he replied: \u201cYes, exactly the same thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, there\u2019s something that\u2019s the same problem as in Indonesia. And we\u2019re not sure how to fix it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has happened two or three other times this season, but we\u2019re not really sure where it\u2019s coming from.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re trying to figure it out. I know full well that the team is there analysing what they can do to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the bike that is working better, he added: \u201cIt\u2019s not [got the same feeling as] Japan. Absolutely not.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s usable. We\u2019re trying to make it more similar. Unfortunately, I\u2019m not able to get the same feeling on the front end with a bike that slows down well.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd especially when I release the brakes, it spins. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve always missed a lot this year, and the only time I had [the perfect feeling] was in Japan.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere we\u2019ve got a bike that works again; not like in Indonesia, where we had so many problems, but we still have this limitation.\u201d<\/p>\n
