Thursday also saw the implementation of MotoGP's new tyre regulations that restrict each rider to 14 front slicks and 17 rear slicks per weekend.

"The new tyre rules do change the strategy of practice," stated Capirossi. "You are restricted to how many tyres you can use, so sometimes you have to do a lot of laps on a tyre even if you don't feel totally happy with it. But it's the same for everyone and it's okay."
