April 14, 2024
Franco Morbidelli he finished tenth in the Texas Sprint, which means zero points, but good indications. For Morbidelli it is the first race tackled as a group, with the riders doing well. These are the words of the Pramac rider.
About the day…
“Another opportunity to appreciate the bike more and learn what it transmits to me. We were in the group from fifth to tenth and I could see how the others handled it, positive sprint, I’m happy. We always go a little better, gathering information. For now We need this conservative behavior, then the time will come to be more aggressive”
What do others do better than you?
“In managing the grip of the bike, Bestia and Pecco are more relaxed, as they are in general, when entering corners, when changing direction. I’m still a little green, conservative, when accelerating and entering. However, over time this thing I think it will come”
What could tomorrow’s step be?
“Tomorrow in the long race it will be important to make a good start and get back into the positions we were in today because we are still far away from reaching the top 3-4, we are 3-4 tenths away. Let’s try to get back more or less in the same positions as in this sprint , doing something extra at the right moments Today I was particularly relaxed and instead of gaining positions I lost them.”
