MotoGP – Brno QP1 – Capirossi assures: "We will be competitive"

Loris Capirossi does not have good memories in Brno. In 1994 a bad injury took him out of the fight for the 250 title, while in 2003, in his first year with Ducati, without a technical problem he probably would have led the Desmosedici to its second success in MotoGP. Yet Brno could be the event for redemption this season, but also to get closer (also with a view to contract renewal) to the management of Borgo Panigale. For now, the third time in qualifying, which means front row, is a good omen to hope for tomorrow: the words of "Capirex", moreover, can only make Ducatisti dream...

“Yes, I am finally satisfied and happy with how we are going. The bike-tyre package works best here, the new tires brought by Bridgestone for qualifying achieved this great performance, but luckily we are also doing well in terms of race pace. We always set excellent times, with stints of at least 11 laps. Yes, I'm confident, we really need a great result"

Latest news coming from Carlo Pernat's entourage, next week there will be a meeting with the managers of Ducati Corse (Domenicali and Suppo) to seek an agreement for next season too. Otherwise, Gresini, Pons and Kawasaki always keep an open door…
