For Michele Pirro the target is to end a run of misfortune that has seen the Italian rookie forced to retire from each of the last three races. Team San Carlo Honda Gresini's CRT project remains a work in progress and Michele is hopeful he can reap the fruit of the team's recent efforts this weekend.
Michele Pirro
“Laguna Seca was our third non-finish in a row, this time because of a collision with another rider in the first corner. It's a shame because I really liked the circuit and was enjoying riding there. July wasn't a lucky month for me but together with the team I want to stay positive and focus on overcoming our problems in the best possible way. We have been getting more competitive and our pace is getting closer to the top CRTs so we want to continue that for the remainder of the season. Over the break I have had a bit of a holiday on the beach but I've been training hard too. I have tried to get the right balance of hard work and rest ahead of our next trip to America. I raced at Indianapolis last year and our objective there is to get back to the level we showed at Assen. I am confident we can achieve it.”
Fausto Gresini
"For Michele and the CRT project it will be important to think positive and put the recent disappointments behind us. We are sure we can do it and I am sure Michele and the guys will be doing their very best to get back amongst the battle to be the top CRT. "
