MotoGP – Shanghai QP1 – De Angelis in difficulty with tires for some time

Yesterday he surprised everyone with the positive seventh best time. Today, he failed to repeat himself. Indeed, Alex De Angelis was relegated to sixteenth position with his personal best time of 2'00"316. Disappointment for the San Marino rider from the Gresini team, not yet comfortable with the Bridgestones for some time and with which he has not been able to have the right feeling, also due to some "Annoying" chattering.

“Unfortunately we know that with the long-term tires we have not yet found the optimal solution”, says Alex De Angelis. “At the moment I don't have a good feeling with the new qualifying tires that Bridgestone brought here to Shanghai: the chattering can still be heard a lot, and therefore I will be forced to start from the back. It won't be an easy race because, with such a late start, it will be difficult to recover positions. In any case we will give our best, also because the rain forecast for tomorrow can help us".

Alex is hoping for rain, capable of radically changing the values ​​on the field, predicting a race that is more uncertain than ever.
