After his fantastic first podium in Moto2 at Sepang last weekend it was back to reality for Gino Rea in Australia, the British rider again struggling to find a dry set-up for the Phillip Island circuit.
Gino Rea (21st) “It was a frustrating race because I got a decent start from the line but then lost a few positions in the early corners and even though I felt good on the bike I got stuck behind some slower riders. After that we had some problems with the brakes fading and that meant I couldn't get into the corners as I wanted. It is tough because we have found a good base setting with the data from the race but we need to find this on a Friday. Now it's too late but it is a question of time on the bike. Hopefully we can make better progress at Valencia.”
Fausto Gresini “Unfortunately once again Gino was unable to find a good setting that gave him any confidence in dry conditions here. Unfortunately our visit to Australia has buried the memories of the podium last weekend!”
