Bellpuig MX2: What the KTM riders said after qualifying
 Red
Bull KTM MX2 riders put in a positive day for the qualifying
races for the Grand Prix of Spain at Bellpuig underlining
they are the ones to watch in Sunday's Race.
Conditions were dry on Saturday but a change in the weather
is forecast for tomorrow with an 85% chance of rain.
Tyla Rattray (winner Qualifying Race One)
"I am very happy and motivated. I took the holeshot and
although I had a few mistakes I managed well and came out
on top. For sure it was a difficult and fast race. The track
surface is very dry and even thought here was some rain last
night, it is windy and it dried out very quickly. That means
there's only one line and it's very fast. I hope have a good
start and to do well again tomorrow.
Tommy Searle (second qualifying Race One)
"Today was good in qualifying and I enjoyed it. I was
behind Tyla and I wasn't able to get past him. This is a fast
track and that's how I like it. I hope that it stays dry tomorrow
because I am hoping for a good race.
Rui Congalves (fourth, Qualifying Race Two)
"Today I had some problems with some pain in my arms
but I hear from some of the other riders that they had problems
too so it might be the hard surface. I will work with our
physiotherapist tonight and hope we can sort out the problem.
Tomorrow I am hoping for a good start and to get as many points
as possible.
Anthony Boissiere of the KTM supported team Team HDI
France won the second Qualifying Race.
