Superstock 1000: light satisfaction in Germany for Team Scuderia SC Caracchi
10 settembre 2007
The Eurospeedway’s track conditions were not the best today, with the asphalt still very slippery in several points, with the addition of a broken engine during the Superstock 1000 morning’s race that let some oil in the penultimate corner. Cloudy sky, but no rain, and that has been enough to grab some valuable result after the difficulties in the past days, during the practice sessions. In Supersport Gianluca Nannelli showed once more his indomitable character and the guts he has. Together with his crew during the morning’s warm up has been used a new set up that Gianluca felt good. At the start Nannelli finished the first lap in 20th position, starting a very fast catching up. Lap by lap the gas tank became more empty and lighter, and the front handling became more and more better. In the final laps “Nanna” recorded lap times like the top of the race, finishing in 11th position and scoring five points, precious for the championship standing. “I’m quite happy, not for the final position, but for the big work we made on the bike after the warm up.” – did comment his week end Gianluca – “With the team we made a completely new set up for the 749. We found a solution for he front, that during the practice had a bad chattering that forced me to close the throttle, and finally I hade the set I like. It has not easy to catch the group and when I arrive behind them it has been very difficult to overtake, as well at the end I passed one guy lap by lap. That was an important test for my fit too and I think that I had a positive answer, as well during a side-up I had a strong pain and for a couple of laps I must ride slower. I’m confident to be ready for Vallelunga, I want to fight at my best in front of my fans. I have to thank all the team that, with Franco Farnè, gave me once more a bike with a fantastic top speed.” Also Jakub Smrz finished into the points race-1 in Superbike after a brilliant race, while in race -2, after a slow start, he did chase in vain for all the race the top 15, without reach his goal. “Unfortunately we hadn’t the possibility to work with method during the practice days.” – said Jakub Smrz at the end of the race – “Today the track was dry, but stil a bit slippery, the biggest problem is that the grip is not constan along the track and some trajectory is rather dangerous. In gara-1 I made a good race, recovering several postions, on the contrary in race-2 the start in the back rows has been quite chaotic and I must remain in the group. When I had just Nakatomi in front of me I saw him very close, but I’ve never been able to grab him. It’s a pity, to finish both the legs into the points it would be a good stimulus for all the team.” Superbike Supersport |
