Earlier today Luca Marini «responded» in the best way to the lattest rumours about his future with a stellar performance on the qualifying of MotoGP in Lusail. The italian admitted that he was somewhat ‘surprised’ with such achievement and assured he will try his best to retain the position.
This was the second time for the Mooney VR46 Racing Team rider, who didn’t held back for showing he wasn’t expecting such performance: ‘Pole position is always a fantastic feeling. I’m a bit surprised because I’m not strong on pace, but this lap was really fast’.
Now the wish is to take profit of the starting position but Marini knows he will face some challenges: ‘The start will be crucial, it’s always a bit complicated here due to the wind, it won’t be easy, but I’ll try to hold my position. The clutch will also have to be managed, we did a series of stats, but the track was very dirty, especially the pole side. Maybe it will be a disadvantage, but we will still give our best to be there’.
