Soup: How would you sum up the day?

Ben: Hazy.

I felt really uncomfortable, You know when your mind isn't quite up to speed; that was me today; I rolled out of bed on the wrong side, so I felt safer to take fewer laps, and more thinking laps. My mind was just too slow to keep up with the bike. This place is quite fast, towards the end I started feeling good, sort of waking up, so I'll get a good night?s sleep tonight and I should be alright.

Soup: You got fastest trap speed ...

Ben: Yeah I drafted Colin.

We've been throwing different tire and different rim sizes trying to see which one we like best and decide tomorrow.

Soup: You said Phillip Island is not one of your favorite tracks; still feel like that?

Ben: Still feel like that.

Soup: Getting plenty of grip?

Ben: No that's the problem, rear grip is quite poor, a bit of chatter. Its been a struggle.
