It is been a wonderful festival at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, the public (68,154) and fans gave us great emotions, and Go Eleven has paid off their warmth with the results on track.Roman continues its positive trend, although in Misano, under particularly hot conditions, the front of his Kawasaki suffers, and had struggling with this problem, but he has not stopped it and wins the challenge of superpole 1, An incredible result that gives to him the access in Q2, great!For him and for the technical staff is the first time that they use Pirelli’s qualifying tire and it was not easy to express their potential in just one lap and without experience.In the first manche is very hot, try to keep the pace of Torres and Fores but the front tire slips and can not push further, so sets his race pace, which is not as fast as he could but enough to take an important 8th Place, which also allows him to start from the second row, fifth, in race 2. In the second race there are bigger expectations and goals, but after a few laps the engine failure and is forced to retire.Gino Rea makes a wonderful weekend, found the feeling with her Ninja, on Friday is 2nd behind the 5 times world champion for just one tenth of a second, finishes fourth in the warm up with the race setup but in qualification makes an error in the curve of Carro and then found a slower rider in the line.In the start lose one position but is faster than his opponents ahead of him, his time is very similar to the first and in a short time he is struggling with Smith for the 5th position, but he has to give up Due to the decay of the front tire, but … a well-deserved and beautiful 6th place finish.Kazuki Watanabe, our Japanese continues his progression, constantly improving, still difficult for him the qualification because of his little experience in this league, loses the Friday to know the track, on Saturday to find the right setting for his bike and then in the race he makes a incredible comeback, this time also its lap times are fast in the race, making fun everyone.Go Eleven thanks her fans, always numerous and warm.
Roman Ramos 40 (WSBK race 1; 8th): “When the asphalt temperature exceeds 40 grades our bike becomes difficult to drive, I lose confidence on the front and become more nervous. The team worked a lot to help me and we managed to have a good set up for the race that made us happy for this result, it was important for us to confirm in the top ten and we succeeded.”
Roman Ramos 40 (WSBK race 2; rt): “In the second manche I think that we did another step forward and i would have liked to fight for a sixth place finish, almost unthinkable to be here in the pre-season.
