Two more eighth-place finishes were today\u2019s results, which add to the ones scored in Le Mans.

In race one I struggled quite a bit and didn\u2019t manage to have the same feeling as yesterday. Race two went better, we made a step forward and understood which direction to take. We still missing quite a bit from the front runners: I\u2019m happy with the standings situation as we\u2019re 44 points away from the leaders. We know have to understand what we\u2019re missing to be fully competitive, because we\u2019re not in the position to battle for the podium at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>ALESSIO FINELLO #72 (12<\/b><b><sup>th<\/sup><\/b><b> RACE 1 &#8211; 12<\/b><b><sup>th<\/sup><\/b><b> RACE 2)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo tough and very fast races. I need to improve at the start and especially at turn one. I\u2019m happy with race one though as I was able to settle into a good rhythm that allowed me to reduce the gap from the frontrunners compared to last year. I didn\u2019t manage to get a top-ten finish, which leaves a bitter taste in my mouth because my pace was good and I was feeling good. I was even more determined to have a good race and finish in the top ten in race two, but the feeling with the front-end of the bike was not ideal and I couldn\u2019t achieve my goal. I\u2019m sorry for that, because we can do a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crash in yesterday\u2019s Q2 relegated Matteo Ferrari on the ninth position of the grid, with the Italian ready for an uphill battle.
