MotoGP – Indianapolis QP1 – De Angelis satisfied halfway

In terms of race pace he proved to be decidedly competitive, while in qualifying he did not go beyond twelfth position. This is Alex De Angelis, who at Indianapolis was unable to improve further in qualifying thanks to a slower driver who hindered him...

“I'm sorry I missed the opportunity to improve my time just before the checkered flag came down”, comments Alex De Angelis. “During the last lap, in fact, I met a driver who was returning to the pits who, despite having seen me, was in my path, and this caused me to lose important tenths. In any case, I'm happy with the work done by Bridgestone because today I was also able to exploit the potential of the qualifying tyre. I'm also satisfied with the race setup, because I managed to always be among the fastest riders on the track and this gives me hope for the race. It's clear that starting from the fourth row it will be important to make a good start and be very concentrated during the first laps".
