Reds Bull KTM riders Tyla Rattray, Tommy Searle and Rui Goncalves all put in good results in the qualifying races for Sunday's MX2 Grand Prix with Rattray winning race one and Searle second, Goncalves sixth in race two.
Tyla Rattray:
"I am very pumped ahead of tomorrow's race. Today I had a big holeshot, I was out in front and put in some good lap times. This is a good track and it's one that I like. It was very hard at the beginning but after we had ridden on it for a while it was fine. Tomorrow it will be very hot and this will be one of the most difficult aspects. But I am used to such weather from South Africa and it wont worry me so much."
Tommy Searle:
"It was good for me today. I was always right behind Cairoli. I did make a couple of small mistakes and I wasn't able to overtake him but I have a good feeling for tomorrow. I like this track very much. Its hard and bumpy but that's no problem and for sure I will have a good day."
Rui Goncalves:
"I had a very bad start today and I did a wheelie right at the start. That was my mistake. Tomorrow it will be very hot but I am used to it. Tomorrow I hope to get a much better start and to have a good race in front of my home crowd."
