MotoGP – QP1 Rio, problems for Marco Melandri

Marco Melandri closed the first official practice for the Rio GP with the 14th fastest time. The Yamaha rider from Ravenna had problems with both bikes, tomorrow he and his team will try to improve his feeling with the bike. Here are his words:

Marco Melandri 14th (at +1.775)
“I had some problems with both bikes this morning. So I wasted a lot of time trying to find solutions, but in vain.
