Alice team still has a long way to go

Alice Team rider Toni Elias, finished fifteenth in the Spanish Grand Prix while team mate Sylvain Guintoli fared even worse in sixteenth,

"I started well, but it didn't help me at all," said Elias. "This hasn't surely been an exciting race for me. We knew we weren't in the best conditions for this race since Friday, but we can't make miracles in two days. We have to analyze this weekend data and find, if there are any, positive things to restart to work. This performance hurts, but I don't give up. I will not stop until I will make this bike go well."

Sylvain Guintoli commented, "Honestly I don't understand why I am so slow. I really try all the modifications possible but I can't make it to improve my performances. I also try to adapt my riding style to the bike but nothing. I don't understand what I have to do. Every time I try to dominate the bike or I lose control or I fall like it happened in yesterday's session. Tomorrow it will be very important, we have the all day at our disposal to evaluate the situation and try to improve our rhythm."
