Broc Parkes (Yamaha rider n ° 7)

Niccolò Canepa (Yamaha rider n ° 7)

Robin Mulhauser (Yamaha rider n ° 96)

"We had to take risks on a very tricky track but we qualified third in our category and 15th in the general classification! A superb effort from the whole team as well as my teammates who were able to stay on their wheels while driving very Our challenge is great since we must garner the maximum points in order to get closer to the head of the championship (currently 4th) to hope to win the title so hoped for at the end of the season. We will therefore have to be regular and avoid the pitfalls of this delicate track, but we are confident and very motivated for this great challenge! "

Gilles Stafler (Kawasaki team manager n ° 11)

"At the end of the official free practice which did not spare the machines and the pilots (45 crashes in the same session including 40 in the same turn!), Our pilots however did not go to the fault. This Thursday , David Checa, Erwan Nigon and Jeremy Guarnoni, however, rode the afternoon in heavy rain. A Q1 made difficult for our trio in delicacy with our tires in these conditions. On the other hand, the Q2 went better on a drier track which allowed Erwan Nigon, then on track, to achieve good lap times, helped by formidable Pirelli intermediate tires. We will therefore start from 5th position, which is not a problem for us. Among other things, we will have to manage our consumption as well as possible because our powerful engine being our strong point, it consumes slightly more than that of our adversaries. Confidence remains nevertheless essential! "
