SUNDAY TO BE ARCHIVED: NOW HEADS ON MISANO
ALBERT ARENAS #75
“Today’s race was a disastrous one: we had an issue with the bike, a human mistake by the team which made me struggle at riding the bike and I was losing a whole lot especially on the straight. I did a good start and at the end of the first lap I had already made my way back to eighth place, ready to battle for the podium as I knew I had a great pace. Unfortunately I immediately realised about the problem because I got passed by many riders on the straight. I tried to give it all to score some points, but the bike prevented me from finishing higher than sixteenth. I’m very disappointed by this home race, which was compromised by this mistake. We’ll be in Misano in five days and we’ll give it another try.”

“Unfortunately yesterday a couple of us have been messing around and therefore we’ve been penalized: starting from the last position is never fun, especially in this track where the tire’s consumption is quite key. I did my best to try to get as far as I could in the beginning while trying to manage the tires, but at 7 laps to go I was really starting to struggle with the front tyre. I new I just had to keep it up and bring it to the finish. My goal of course was to reach the points but unfortunately I arrived short of that struggling with the tires. It was definitely a difficult race but I learn from my mistake of messing around in qualifying and I’ll never do it again: hopefully in Misano we’ll get a better grid position: I really enjoy that track and it will be the home GP of the team so an extra motivation to do good.”
