Rome, 5 September (LaPresse) – "We started with some ideas for this weekend, but we had to backtrack. We worked on returning to our strong points in practice, where we had good pace with the medium tyre at the rear. Unfortunately, we were unlucky in the first time attack due to traffic and in the second due to yellow flags. To aim for victory, you have to be fast right from FP1. We'll try to make up for it tomorrow, as we did over the weekend in Hungary." These were the words of Fabio Di Giannantonio, Pertamina VR46 Racing Team rider, after Friday's pre-qualifying for the MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix.
