For the first time with a MotoGP on wet asphalt for Luca Marini, who finished the 21st day, at 1’34’147. The Italian said he was satisfied and happy at the end of two sessions that started with a blank sheet of paper. Tomorrow it will be difficult to improve before qualifying, but The goal for # 10 is to build your confidence on the wet track.
“Today was interesting in wet conditions. I am happy with the tires“, Luca began. “I also had a lot of fun because the asphalt wasn’t too wet. I think if I do as many laps as possible in these conditions I can find the right confidence with the bike and be quick. The Ducati does well when it’s wet. I hope there will be another session tomorrow under similar conditions. It could be particularly interesting for me to continue working like this. “
Other drivers said they were struggling with their tires after three laps because of the cold temperatures.
“Yes, that’s right. There was a lot of wind and it didn’t help. If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, I’ll concentrate on work in the first sector, because that’s where I lose the most.”
In these days the fate of your team will be decided. Do you talk to Valentino about it?
“They only hinted at what point they are at. They didn’t go into detail. “
At what point are you?
“You will have to say it. I think a compliment should be paid to Vale. Everyone knows what they’ve done and what they’re doing. It’s also a great thing to be able to put together a team in MotoGP. “
Do you think he will come to all the races when he leaves MotoGP? Or do you imagine him like a boss looking from a distance?
“I don’t know. I think he’ll want to take a break when he stops too. More than twenty years in the paddock, I think he’s taking a year or two off. He’ll be more sporadic. It’s hard to understand what role he would like to play in this adventure. Now is the boss of the team Uccio. In Moto2 he or Pablo (Nieto, editor’s note) were the reference points. I think they will take on the role of ‘boss’. “
