Due to the cold temperature, we used the soft tyre but I couldn't find the right feeling. I struggled also with the front as I cannot enter fast in the corner as I want. Tomorrow we will continue to work to improve the set up of the bike in preparation of the race”.Alex De Angelis15th / 2'04.411 / 27 Laps‟I'm happy of the work done today, especially of the FP2 as I could improve my lap times and my pace. Today we used the hard tyre and the feeling was positive from the beginning. Silverstone is a technical track, it has a bit of everything and it's fun to ride here with a MotoGP machine. I'm confident to make another step forward tomorrow".2014 MotoGP United KingdomSilverstone 29/08/20141Marc MarquezHondaESP2'02.126 2Stefan BradlHondaGER2'02.635 3Andrea DoviziosoDucatiITA2'03.011 4Bradley SmithYamahaGBR2'03.070 5Yonny HernandezDucatiCOL2'03.327 6Scott ReddingHondaGBR2'03.333 7Andrea IannoneDucatiITA2'03.353 8Alvaro BautistaHondaESP2'03.391 9Daniel PedrosaHondaESP2'03.410 10Aleix EspargaroForward YamahaESP2'03.468 11Jorge LorenzoYamahaESP2'03.500 12Pol EspargaroYamahaESP2'03.542 13Valentino RossiYamahaITA2'03.952 14Cal CrutchlowDucatiGBR2'04.057 15Alex De AngelisYamahaSMR2'04.411 Circuit Length:5900Weather:OvercastLap Record:2'01.941(Daniel Pedrosa, 1-1-2013)Fastest Lap Ever:2'00.691(Marc Marquez, 1-9-2013)Last Years Winner:Jorge LorenzoStatistics: Posted by totalmotorcycle - Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:40 pm
