MotoGP – Sepang QP1 – No progress for Melandri

Considering the last few races, a fourteenth place on the grid isn't that bad. Marco Melandri, however, does not (rightly) think so, always maintaining the same profile somewhere between disappointment and resignation. The rider from Ravenna was unable to find the feeling with the Ducati Desmosedici GP8 even today, finding himself only at the back of the starting grid for the Sepang race.

“Today the conditions were a bit strange but in fact in the end the track was dry so I can't blame the fourteenth time on that”, sincere Marco Melandri. “I realize I'm repeating myself, but I'm still in the same condition, I don't have the feeling with the bike and this despite the fact that I believe I've done a good set-up job together with my team. It will be a difficult race for this reason and for the particularly tough conditions that, as always, we find ourselves facing here in Malaysia.".
