MotoGP – Istanbul – Gibernau: "I made a mistake, it's not my year"

A foreign man in that team that celebrated today, leading it to triumph like a hero, Marco Melandri. Sete Gibernau is the emblem of disappointment, the face of someone who already thinks of something else, but who admits, unlike others, his mistakes. He made a mistake, for the eighth time this year (five falls and three "straights"), shortly after passing his teammate and taking the lead. A "long" without excuses: the first to understand it was the good Sete himself...

“I made a mistake, there are no excuses. I was pushing hard, I wanted to increase the pace to escape from Marco and Hayden. I knew about their pace, I couldn't adopt another race strategy: that's how it went, I made a mistake, I'm sorry for the team. This is just not my year.”
