I actually think that as the humidity goes up, it seems to affect the tyres a lot more than the high temperature. In the morning we had similar temperatures but the humidity was down. We had grip even with the race tyre with was not so bad, but in the afternoon as soon as the humidity went up it was like riding around on a cold tyre, or a treaded tyre, just sort of moving the whole time and giving a lot of constant feedback.
I wasn't too focused on Superpole we just did a lot of laps on race tyres and my times were consistent and there was a few people who could make some laps a little bit quicker, but their times seemed to drop off a bit sooner. Most of us were on the same rear tyre but there were a few on a different tyre.
Pirelli brought a new tyre here which we were going to use at Silverstone; I tried it but I didn't really like it, I'm pretty happy with the tyres we've had all year really, I just adjust the bike to try to get better grip out of it, when we haven't got the grip so it's all working well.
As I've said, the heat in Misano really was quite something. It's not so bad racing in the hot temperatures for a little while and obviously your fitness comes into it a lot.
I think if you remember to breath - I know that probably sounds funny - to breath, but when you're riding you're concentrating that hard that you don't breathe in the same amount of oxygen all the time you just take short pants.
So in hot temperatures I try to breathe in as hard as I can on the straights and just get as much oxygen in as I can in my blood.
The strength issue isn't really a problem for me, I don't get tired but you just get hot; your body temperature just goes up and up and up which is not so bad for about 30 minutes but once you've gone past 30 minutes your body core has got that hot that you just start to overheat, which makes it hard for concentration.
But humidity is the real killer. Dry heat isn't so much of a problem but humidity really seems to make it hard to breathe, and you start to get cramps and stuff in your body.
