IMPORTANT POINTS FOR LACONI AND TAMADA
At the end of today's race at the Nurburgring race track, Kawasaki PSG-1 Corse's
riders Makoto Tamada and Regis Laconi took home 10 and 8 points respectively.
In race 1 the French rider Regis Laconi had a problem with the front tyre which
descended too much when engaging the clutch and as such finished in 14th. In race
2, thanks to his team’s hard work the problem was solved, he restored his feeling
with his ZX-10R and finished the race in 10th position.
Even the Japanese rider Makoto Tamada is satisfied with the results he achieved
today considering the grid position he started from. Although having two bad starts
in each race, Makoto recovered from this by reaching 9th place in race 1 and the
13th in race 2 respectively.
Makoto Tamada
“ I didn’t start as I wanted too in race 1 but I began to recover positions from
the 1st corner when I took the inside line. In this way I reached a good position
from the 1st lap maintaining it for the whole race. I had a good feeling with
the bike and the temperature was perfect for the tyres I chose. In the middle
of the race I started to push even more to reach Nieto but I was at the limit
and I didn’t want to take the risk and crash. In race 2 I had another bad start
as well and it’s quite difficult to overtake on this track so I was not able to
recover so many positions. I thought it may rain so I started to push a bit more
but the red flag went out as it start to spit before I could improve anymore.
For sure I wanted to achieve a better result but I can be satisfied with my race
results considering the grid position I was started from. We’ll work hard during
the time before the next round at Misano, I really want to give a great result
to the team as it really deserve it and its their home round”. |
