MotoGP – Shanghai QP1 – Good qualifying for Loris Capirossi

Second row and sixth time for Loris Capirossi who finally managed to put in some good performances with both the qualifying and race tyres, which seem to offer a good package on the Chinese circuit. However, the final choice on which tires to use is postponed until tomorrow morning, hoping that the rain does not ruin the hard work of the Italian and his team. The goal is always the same: win or get to the podium; tomorrow will be tough, but this does not mean that Capirex will try anyway, perhaps taking advantage of the advantageous position near the leaders. He has the microphone.

“Today I'm quite happy because this is the first time we've done good qualifying. We worked hard to find the right setting and now the bike works well with the race tyres. We still have a couple of options on which tires to use tomorrow and we will make the decision in the morning. Both qualifying and race tires and we have a good pace with the race package, and it will be good to start near the front row. We'll see what happens tomorrow as the forecast is for rain, which would be terrible after all the hard work. Our goal remains the same, to win races and get podiums. I know it will be difficult here, but we will definitely try!”.
