Loris Capirossi – 9th

  • It´s difficult to say that this was a positive day, but we did improve a lot and if it wasn´t for my mistake early on it could have been a lot better. I didn´t want to lose touch with the top guys and my rhythm was really good, but I ran off and that cost me some places. I got back up to seventh and then I had a technical problem and I lost two positions right at the end. Now we will go to Le Mans and make sure that we are competitive there – we had the potential to do much better today!
