Round 7: Nürburgring (Germany) 13-15 June
Friday – Qualifying 1st session
A GREAT BEGINNING FOR LACONI
Great beginning achieved by Regis Laconi of Kawasaki PSG-1
Corse team during this first day at Nurburgring, Germany.
The French rider finishes the first qualifying session making
the 6th time improving the morning performance.
An electronic problem slows down the team job on Makoto Tamada’s
bike who doesn’t achieve big results during the morning
free practices but closes the gap in 1st qualifying session
reaching the 16th placement, thanks to some set up changes
and rear shock absorber substitution.
REGIS LACONI #55: “It has been a really
positive day for me and the team. We had confirmation that
the swing arm used on Miller track in Salt Lake City is the
ideal one on this track too. I reached a great feeling both
with the front and the rear of the bike and my confidence
increased together with the satisfaction I’ve got riding
this powerful ZX-10R”.
MAKOTO TAMADA #100: “ During the morning
free practices I had an electronic problem and we lost a lot
of time to solve it so I couldn’t study the track as
I wanted to. We solve the problem in the afternoon qualifying
session where I closed the gap reaching the 16th position.
We tested some set up solutions and we substituted the rear
shock absorber which gave us good points to work on in order
to reach an ideal set up. Tomorrow I’ll try to improve
today’s result s I really want to compete for the Superpole”.
FRANCESCO MASTRANDREA (Technical Director): “
I’m really happy for Regis who confirmed the great feeling
he reached with the bike on Miller track, Salt Lake City.
The result achieved tells us that the set up we adopted fits
with his guide style. Even Makoto is improving the feeling
with his ZX-10R but we still have to valuate some aspects
in order to take fully advantage of its potentialities”.
