We had a productive first day in Sepang. Despite a lack of grip in the morning, we were able to be competitive and to evaluate different things. Overall, today's data again underline how hard Yamaha has been working this year to improve the bike. The work continues this weekend: Fabio and Álex also have a new engine to try here. Both our riders did a great job to secure a direct place in tomorrow's Q2. It's a great way to start the weekend, but this is only the beginning. We have to keep our head down. The next goal is to stay on this positive trajectory tomorrow in qualifying and the Sprint.
