Motegi: Mattia Pasini won the 125cc
25 settembre 2007
Pasini led from the off and never looked like relinquishing his lead until the flying Di Meglio began to gain on him towards the end of this 21-lap race run in soaking rain today after the searing heat of yesterday. Di Meglio was one of many fallers including the Repsol duo of Bradley Smith (Repsol Honda RS125R) and Esteve Rabat (Repsol Honda RS125R). Danny Webb (Arie Molenaar Racing Honda RS125R) scored his first ever World Championship point here after a mature ride to 13th place. Talmacsi heads the points standings still with 229 points to Faubel’s 220 with three rounds now remaining. Di Meglio said: “I got a good start and decided to take it step-by-step in the opening laps, stay quiet until I was sure of the conditions. I had a small problem with the front-end, I couldn’t hold my line and was drifting wide at some corners. When I passed Talmacsi for second place I was riding calmly. The crash was strange because I didn’t enter the corner too late or too deep. I lost the front but I managed to hold the bike to save it from serious damage but I broke the rear brake lever and from then on I had to brake early. In the circumstances I am happy with the result.” Webb said: “That was much better than anything I have done up until now – my first World Championship points! We were good in the warm up and carried that over into the race. I got a good start and as the race went on I passed some riders and some crashed. Then I caught Koyama san and was in 16th place and I knew I would score points. I was 12th at one point but when Pesek came past his bike was so fast that I decided not to try to stay with him and risk a crash.” |
