Good points for Kawasaki PSG-1 Corse team on this “home” track in Misano. The three riders Regis Laconi, Fonsi Nieto and Mauro Sanchini fought with determination to the end to collect the maximum of points even if they had some problems. Two tests are coming soon, Brno and Vallelunga where they will try to find the right direction in therms of competitivity.

REGIS LACONI: “ I started well race 1 but then I lost positions because of the chattering that didn’t permit me to push as I wanted. It has been really exhausting to ride in these condition and extremely difficult to finish the race. We tried to make some adjustments for race 2 but things didn’t change. Besides I made a bad start and it increased the difficulties. The only positive aspect is that I took home some points but we have to find the solution to be competitive”.

FONSI NIETO: “ When things don’t go as they should there’ s not much to do. In race 1 the fuel tube has broken and the only thing I could do was to return to the box. In race 2 things seamed to go better and I recuperate some positions. Then I started to accuse the chattering and I had to stop pushing trying to finish the race and bring home some points. I’ m really upset for this week end because this was the “home” round   and I really wanted to do my best”.

MAURO SANCHINI: “ In race 1 I took some points but I wasn’ t really satisfied because my race pace was slower then the one I had yesterday. Then I started to feel something strange with the bike and I focused to finish the race. With some adjustments we found a good race pace in race 2 and it absolutely went better, it has been more satisfying even if I gained just one point. I want to thank the team for the big work they did”.
