MotoGP – Phillip Island – Chattering slows down Shinya Nakano

Shinya Nakano finished the Australian GP, ​​sixteenth stage of the 2007 MotoGP world championship, in thirteenth position. The Konica Minolta Honda Team rider had started well from the third row (he had obtained the eighth time in practice) trying to maintain a pace that could make him fight for the Top Ten. Unfortunately for him, however, from mid-race onwards his Honda RC212V started to suffer from "chattering" at the front. He has the microphone.

“I started well, satisfied with the grid position I had obtained. At the start of the race I thought I could stay with the central group of riders; the pace I had wasn't bad, even faster than in practice and I was having fun, but from mid-race I wasn't able to maintain the pace. I had some chattering during the sudden braking of the two hairpin bends. Unfortunately we would need to start Friday with faster lap times to be more effective with the setting changes on the bikes. This is what I want to do next week in Sepang. I love that track and I would like to be able to get a good result for me and my team.”
