Christophe Guyot, team manager of GMT94 : "Of course nothing is settled since tomorrow our competitors will have the opportunity to improve their lap times, however we all used new tires today because the weather is not looking good tomorrow. We are very satisfied with the performance. completed by the three riders. David Checa was able to test a rear tire in preparation for the race. Our bike is running perfectly. Despite his excellent time, Lucas Mahias came home frustrated from his session because he had achieved 1’57’7 just before the red flag, but his time was not counted.

The three drivers are in an excellent pace and the whole team worked well during these night practice. The Yamaha R1 from GMT94 is leading the session, which confirms that we have a machine that works equally well day and night. are very satisfied with the work accomplished today and during these night trials ".
