Gino Rea was unable to score points in his first race at Indianapolis but there have been promising signs at the legendary circuit as the British rookie looks to close the gap on the top fifteen. His practice pace and performance in the first half of the race here suggests Rea can be a points contender in the final few races of the season.
Gino Rea (20th) "Good and bad today I think. The good thing is we solved some of the problems we have had all year in terms of the chatter and suspension. Now it's down to developing the bike and setting it up properly. We tried something in the warm-up that wasn't quite the right way so we went back to the qualifying setting and the first eleven or twelve laps I felt I could fight for points. There was a lot of weight on the front on the brakes and I've had a little problem with the tendon in my left shoulder that made things even more difficult. When the grip level went down I couldn't keep the pace up. Hopefully now we can improve the feeling of the bike even more and bring the team the points they deserve. The good thing is I know the next track well so I hope we can start out strong there."
Fausto Gresini "Gino got his confidence and feel for the bike back here this weekend but unfortunately he couldn't manage more than twentieth place in the race. We expected a better result than this."
