Fifth again! Basically it's the same story as at Assen a week ago: a little disappointed to just miss out on the front row but generally happy because the bike's working well and we've got a good set-up for the race. Hopefully we can get a good start and see how it goes. Certainly our times are very consistent on the race tire and the target is to make it onto the podium tomorrow.

Both team wanted to get the fifth seed. I told the team we're disappointed now and we should be disappointed. But we can't dwell on this and let the disappointment of this loss carry over into the playoffs.

I was so frustrated, so angry, so disappointed in everything that was taking place, that it was basically coming to a boiling point.

It was difficult a week ago, it was difficult two weeks ago, and it was difficult three weeks ago. And now, it's even more difficult. We have to win the games. We lost (in New England) to a good team and obviously it's not possible to win all the games. Sometimes you lose and New England has a good team. I think they're a better team than we are. We lost the game on the field, it's not the end of the world.

You get to see your stuff made. It's just like, 'Wow, I wrote this a week ago and now I'm seeing it.' It's unbelievable what you can do in three days in TV.

The bike's working well and we're able to put in good consistent lap times. My final position should've been higher but I lost some time when I came across another rider. Nothing is decided until superpole but it will be important to get a good position as this is a difficult circuit to overtake on.
