The Mugello GP comes to an end with positive results for the NGM Mobile Forward Racing Riders.
Simone Corsi and Alex De Angelis finish the race in the Top10 in seventh and eighth place respectively with their SpeedUp bike in a vey disputed race. Good start for the Spanish rider Ricky Cardús who after a very difficult qualifying session yesterday has managed a nineteenth place. A complicated beginning of the race for Mattia Pasini who jump-started the race and was penalized with a drive through.
The NGM Mobile Forward Riders finish the home race at Mugello taking many points and will and will stay one more day at the Italian track for an official day of testing.
Simone Corsi – 7th – 40.04.660
“I am not at all satisfied of the today’s results, we could have done better. I had a good start of the race managing to gain many positions but the front four were already gone and it became complicated to catch up with them. I suffered on the third sector losing four tenths but the feeling with the bike was good. I am sorry for the end of race position I wanted to do better at the home race. Our goal is to be in the top positions and for that we have to work more and take full advantage of tomorrow’s test day to find the right solutions.”
Alex De Angelis – 8th – 40.04.786
“We could have done better but it was a good race. The battle with Simone Corsi definitely made me lose some positions and at the very end stuck in traffic in the group in which we were both in and found myself having to fight again to regain positions. Its a real shame because my race pace was good, my lap times are 1´53s, very close to the lap times of the head of the race. Overall it was a positive race, the best so far this season and the gap at the end of the race is the best one so far. I take this as the restart of the season with this new chassis. I am only sorry that I wasn’t able to do a bit better.”
Ricky Cardús – 19th – 40.36.087
“I started the race very concentrated, I really wanted to have a good start after all the difficulties that we have encountered during the weekend but it was complicated to be fast after al the problems we have had. It is a track that I really enjoy but I was not able to do good lap times. I made a good start but was held back battling in the first corners going on the gravel and making it difficult to get a good pace. Knowing that the race was over for me I focused on gaining confidence with the bike. We have a testing program for tomorrow in which we will be trying several modifications that we hope will help us at the Montmelo GP. I have to regain the concentration in order to be fast with this bike.”
Mattia Pasini – 25th – 41.05.837
“I am disappointed, after the Le Mans GP and Friday’s positive start I was expecting to do better for our home race. Today I have paid a high price for a little mistake at the start of the race and after yesterday’s two crashes I lost a bit of feeling with the bike. Fortunately tomorrow we test: we have an important day ahead of us, we have to go over everything we have done this weekend in order to be competitive at Barcelona. The Spaniards have won in our territory and it will be our turn to do the same in their territory at the next GP.”
