Folger: "We've done everything right so far"

German rookie qualifies top Yamaha at his home GP

Jonas Folger (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) qualified as top Yamaha for his home GP, putting in a stunning rookie performance to take fifth in a wet Q2. Although one of the most consistent points scorers of the season so far, it was a tough Dutch GP for the German and he'll be looking to bounce back in style after having challenged at the front in Barcelona.

Jonas Folger, P5: “I’m delighted about my qualifying position for tomorrow, but the situation was very tough due to the weather and it was similar to Assen. Anyway, we did a really good job in both the dry and the wet conditions and FP3 went well, so as a result, I went straight through to QP2. There, I was able to ride a solid lap time behind Marc Marquez and I felt confident in a lot of corners. We've done everything right so far and I am really looking forward to tomorrow where I am sure I will have a great time at my home Grand Prix.”
