Rd.3 Le mans
2010年05月25日
へレスの事後テストでもまずまずの感触を掴んでいたので初日から期待して臨みました。しかし、前回と違うコースレイアウトからか全く違うマシンの感触に苦しんで16番手、2日目の午後には改善方向に向かいましたが14番手で満足のいくセットまではまとまらずレースも厳しいレースをしいられました。路面温度が上がりタイヤに厳しい状況で転倒者が多かったレースですが中盤から8位争いのグループのなかで走行し、前にでる場所を探ってプッシュしていたのですがラスト6Lのシケイン進入でフロントを流してしまい、転倒は避けましたがそこで遅れをとり、再度追い上げましたが11位でのゴールになりました。悔しいですが攻めての結果これもレースだと思います。
次のムジェロは現状からワンステップ出来るように頑張りたいです。
After the test at Jerez I was confident with the feel of the bike, therefore I was hoping for a good out come for this round. Although, the layout of the circuit is very different from the previous round and I was struggling with a completely different feel of the machine.
I was suffering from the different set up and was 16th. On the second day, we’ve decided to improve and change the setting but unfortunately we were not able to achieve any satisfaction. I qualified 14th. The ground temperature was rising and it was very harsh on the tyres, which caused many riders to crash. I was in the group battling for the 8th position, while pushing my self as well as looking for the right place to over take. Six laps to go and my front slipped at the start of the chicane. I was lucky enough not to crash but lost my position, however I managed to catch up with some and finished 11th. It is very regrettable but this is a result of pushing hard, and this is what racing is….
I would like to improve from the present condition for my next race in Mugello.
