SECOND AND THIRD FASTEST TIMES FOR BAYLISS AND FABRIZIO IN FIRST QUALIFYING
SESSION AT PHILLIP ISLAND
Phillip
Island (Australia), Friday 29th
February: the Ducati Xerox Team is
more than satisfied with the way the weekend has begun at the Phillip Island
Grand Prix Circuit, with Bayliss and Fabrizio registering the second and third
fastest times in this afternoon's first qualifying session. Rain showers earlier
this morning meant that both riders had to cope with less than optimum grip on
the track but this did not seem to deter them and an improvement in the weather
conditions throughout the day allowed for some improvements regarding the set up
of the 1098 F08 machines to take place in both riders' pit
garages.

Bayliss

"It's
all gone well today. Grip on the track could be better, it's not perfect due to
the rain earlier, but that will no doubt be better tomorrow. We'll try a few
different things tomorrow to sort that out , working on the tyre set-up, but
today we haven't really made many changes. We tried a long run which was worth
doing and gave us useful information on the tyres. We're confident about the
direction in which we're heading and we're looking forward to
tomorrow."
Michel
Fabrizio
1m32.5s
"I'm very
happy with my performance today. I was already pretty satisfied this morning to
be honest and so we changed practically nothing between the practice session and
first qualifying this afternoon. We worked on improving the tyre set-up and,
although there are a few problems with grip, we can work on that during
tomorrow's sessions. A change in weather conditions between now and Sunday would
of course affect how we go but I'm not too worried about that a the moment."
