Jerez - Day 2

Qualifying was even tighter than we thought it would be. I ended up just three tenths off the pole and I start ninth on the grid! That's closer than any championship I have ever raced in. Stoner is third in MotoGP and he is three tenths off Pedrosa. The day was intense with a lot of extra things I am not used to like a lot of press interviews and sponsor events. It's cool but it brakes up your race rutine.I don't know how many of the guys that are up front will be able to keep up a good pace but we know we will be pretty good all race. I ran 27 laps with the race tire and didn't feel too bad at the end, it was sliding around a little but wasw still able to do good lap times. Tomorrow we just need to get a good start and we will have a good race. K-
