MotoGP – Motegi QP1 – Capirossi: “What a tough time!!”

Loris Capirossi is amazed by his time, and who wouldn't be if he lowered last year's time by seven tenths, especially with a bike that really doesn't want to stand still? And the driver from Imola is convinced that he is fast even in the wet, even if he would obviously prefer a dry race. In any case, Loris recognizes that this pole is thanks to all the work of his team, with whom he has established a fantastic relationship over these four years. The word is up to him

“What a time I recorded, a good 7 tenths slower than last year, incredible! I did my best but a good part of this splendid qualification occurred thanks to my team, who worked very well today and throughout the weekend. One step at a time, we found good consistency even in race setup. We have been together for 4 years and have created a fantastic relationship. In addition to harmony and respect there is much more. Even when something doesn't go right, we always have a smile and this is very important. We deserved this qualification, all together. Tomorrow, as always, is another day and we will first have to see what the weather will be like. Even in case of rain I should be quite fast, but I would prefer a dry race."
