Karel Abraham only tried to know better a new FTR motorcycle in the free practice of French Grand Prix
Despite some concerns, team Cardion AB prepared the FTR motorcycle for Friday's free practice on time. In Le Mans dominated nice sunny weather with temperatures around 26 centigrades. Karel Abraham rode the best time in his last 14th round. Karel was more than two seconds after the first ten riders but he praised the machine.
" I made first training laps with the FTR motorcycle in Le Mans, and so today we especially tried to set up everything - from seat and running boards to the clutch, and we also tried various settings. Therefore, I did not ride a lot today, but it was not our goal. I like the motorcycle. I rode well with it and I feel good. I look forward to tomorrow when I expect the second free practice and the qualification in the afternoon, "said Karel Abraham.
In the opening free practice Moto2 was the fastest domestic Cluzel with Suter, who had a time of 1:39,827. In one second with him were eight riders.
