What the Red Bull KTM MX1 & MX2 riders are saying in Bulgaria
10 maggio 2008 MX1 Max Nagler (MX1) was second behind Sebastien Pourcel in Saturday's Time Practice, with Jonathan Barragan of the KTM-supported Team Silver Action in third place. Max Nagl: "I like this track very much. The last time I rode here was back in 2002 because I was injured in the other years. Since then they have changed part of the track but I like it all. It's very different from Portugal. It is fast and there are a lot of nice jumps. If you are confident you can go fast. I was much better in the afternoon than in the morning practice. Stefan (team boss Stefan Everts) gave me some hints about the lines. I listened to him, it worked better for me and I was second. Tomorrow I hope to finish in the top five and I want to take the holeshot." Results MX1 Time Practice 1. Sebastien Pourcel, France, Kawasaki 2. Max Nagl, Germany, KTM 3.

He too is confident for Sunday. Tommy Searle: "I like the circuit very much. It feels good to race here. I had a good battle and lots of fun riding against Cairoli. I was in front for about three quarters of the race and then he got past me. But I finished second and I gave him a good fight. I feel I'm going to be able to step it up in the race tomorrow.

Tyla Rattray: "It was a good race and I took the holeshot. There are some very fast places on the circuit. It was a bit wet at the beginning but it is drying out so it will be a very tight race tomorrow. This is a good track and I like it a lot." Rui Goncalves: "I started well and I was in third place. I was putting in some good lap times and had a good rhythm. Then I slid over and crashed. I dropped back to fourth place and I wasn't able to finish higher than that. It was a good race for me and much better than the free practice this morning. I like the track and I am optimistic. Tomorrow I hope to get out there and open the throttle."
