GPSachsenring 2008 II. qualifying
The threat of rain wasn’t fulfilled. In the morning the team entered the first training with expectation of better results than the previous day. However Abaja didn’t show much and he got to the 18th rank with the time 1:26.035. “I was really disappointed. I tried too much and it was probably a mistake. Also the motorcycle didn’t fit me well, the setting wasn’t optimal.” At first the afternoon training didn’t look more promisingly than the morning one. Three stops in the pit, changing of tyres. The new setting fitted Abaja better and he spoke highly of tyres as well. The difference in setting was big. The motorcycle fitted me in the afternoon. The others accelerated and in one second there are 15 riders. The last laps were the best and I improved the time. In spite of it the time 1:24.865 was enough just for the 16th starting position.”
