After another frustrating weekend that showed great promise in practice only to turn to nothing in the race Gino Rea is hoping for a major turnaround in fortunes at Sachsenring this weekend. The British youngster's belief in his potential remains undiminished and he heads directly from Holland to Germany hoping to pick up on the positives at a circuit he will have to learn quickly on Friday.
Gino Rea “Assen was disappointing. We found a good setting for the bike and our pace on used tyres in practice was good but we made some small changes for the race and I couldn't even match my pace. The rear tyre quickly lost consistency and grip. Sachsenring is another new circuit for me and I am interested to see what it is like. We found some positive things at Assen and I want to continue making progress in Germany once I have got my head around the track. So far I have only been round it on the Playstation and it looks like it's short but good fun. I think it will suit my riding style and our bike so I am hoping to reward the team with a good race."
Fausto Gresini “There is an old Italian saying that describes our situation quite well right now: “non sappiamo più quali pesci prendere”. It basically means that we don't know which fish to choose any more. We have tried every possible combination to give Gino the chance to show his potential but so far we have not managed it. The engineers will use the data from Assen and try again at Sachsenring but at the moment it is proving difficult to keep the faith.”
