Michele Pirro:
“The
"Taking stock of this first part of the season I would say that was positive, although we found some difficulties. We faced this challenge in the Moto2 World Championship knowing that we could be competitive and confident of the potential with which the Gresini team would have enabled to ride. It took a few races before we know the characteristics of the bike and the incredible weather conditions we met have penalized those who had no references on the circuits, like us.
World Chmp
The level of Moto2 is very high, as demonstrated by the fact that lap times have decreased significantly from last season and the start from the front positions on the grid is crucial, because with 40 riders at the start it's easy to stay trooped out and lose a lot of time. The desire to join the group of the best riders has led us to commit some mistakes, like at Estoril in Portugal and at the Italian GP at Mugello, where I tried to push early in the race but a crash puts me out of the race. 4
pionship’s turning point� We got a podium at Silverstone in a wet and difficult race, and we were fast in several practice rounds and on new circuits for us. We believe that we will improve and we plan a testing day at Misano on August the 5th, with the aim to prepare the ground for the race of September the 4th (San Marino Grand Prix) and test new solutions that allow us to be fast in the early laps and put ourselves into the fight for the victory. The next race in Brno (August 14) will represent the begin-
ning of the second phase of the World Championship that will take us to Indianapolis, Misano and Aragon, before leaving for the three trips outside Europe, to Japan (at the moment confirmed), Australia and Malaysia then close with the final in Valencia on November 6th. It will be a challenging final and we are ready to face it confident and convinced of our ability, in order to pay back with the results the sponsors who made this Moto2 World Championship possible "
